I remember Doug <jagmad(a)riseup.net> saying something like: >No its OK if the solid white line demarcates a cycle lane. You can >park on the lane indefinitely at your leisure in the knowledge that >you won't get done by the police for it and especially if it is >outside a line of shops which thrive on trade from motorists. If you're lucky, you can collect a couple of cyclists on the back bumper before you leave. >BTW, the way to avoid double reds is to park on the pavement inside >them until the police politely move you on.

Now you can get a parking ticket for parking on a white line with "T" bars at th end of it.
