apparently the enforcement officers are allowing 2 minutes of idle before asking the driver to switch off , if they refuse then they will be ticketed

I heard a bit of a rant by Nigel Havers of all people on R4 about all the high end cars parked in that there smoke with their engines running. He would tap on the window and ask them to turn it off, some were polite and others gave him an earful. In reality he's right as Rule 123 already covers this:

I got done in London 1989, I think it cost me £20.

In New York, the street furniture's threat to the idling of one's IC engine tells of a $2000 fine.

Generally I am in favour of this. One of the worst offenders is mothers outside schools waiting for their kids, on the mobile phone.

you could not make it up...................................
" Sir, i have observed you sitting in your car for the last 2 mins with the engine at idle, i now require you to turn your engine off or i will issue you a fixed penalty notice"
"But officer, i cannot turn it off, not now"
"Sir turn it off now please"
"ok"

30 minuets later the officer returns

"Sir, why are you still here, i will have to issue a parking ticket"
"Officer, you told me to turn my engine off, it was just started after a flat battery by the AA, its now flat again and i am waiting for them to come back out"

That’s just getting confused with a monthly parking space fee down Bleecker.
