Or have a sliding scale that makes a single violation, like what normal

Ah - having it affect the customer, not the company. Now *that* is a
*brilliant* idea! I'm not sure quite how you'd do it, but it's applying
the leverage to the people who are holding the purse strings.

I meant that the deliveryco would get fined, but to pay them they'd
have to put their delivery prices up and *that* will make their
customers say no.

So a shop that has been around for decades suddenly finds that TfL
have painted a bus lane outside and the delivery van can no longer
park there at any reasonable hour so both shop staff and driver have
to get up in the small hours, Well thats fair isn't it. If I was
running a delvery company I'd just buy all my trucks and vans in
france or holland and run them over here on foreign plates parking
when and where I pleased.
