I've often wondered what 'No Overnight Parking' actually means.

What times from to does overnight mean. Is it 7pm to 7am, or 10pm to 8am, or 11:59pm to 00:01am.

If you parked up at 1 min past midnight and stayed till 7am is that overnight ?

It's a silly sign that means nothing in my opinion.

I'd say that I'm not parking an overnight, I'm parking a transit, so that doesn't apply to me.

Wow I so need to get my arse up to Scotland to do some camping and more importantly some distillery tours/visiting, problem is when ever I pop up to Scotland for work or if my small van driver goes up I always end up spending a good £50- £60 on a bottle of malt.

I think next year I'm going to have to plan a week in Scotland to do some mountain biking and distillery visiting
