It is a good point that you have raised. However, it does appear that

Or perhaps they appear to be "targetted" because they park incorrectly
more often and so *deserve* more tickets. Unfortunately the fines don't
appear to be high enough, as I see the same trucks making the same
deliveries week after week, each time with a parking ticket on them.

It would all be fixed by my fine idea of putting fork lifts on the front
of bendy buses and using them to stab into the offending vehicles and
lift them onto the bus roof.
