The RAV4 should have 10 to 20 mm of fabric visible in that position. It finishes the trim allowing the tilt function of the steering wheel to operate. This one looks to have become "un-tucked" from underneath the steering wheel side, or possibly it wasn't assembled correctly.

Some people are really thick. Sorry but not a better way to describe them.

I could complaint about the fact that the new A Class offers reverse camera, but parking sensors only if a package is added. But hey, isn't the only car available. And if you're really after value, I would certainly look for a Dacia.

As mentioned, the gap is necessary to allow adjustments. If it was simply a hard plastic, either no adjustments or the gap without anything covering it.

Well said HJ. The cheek of some folk trying to weasel out of doing wrong. If I were in the OP's position then I'd hold up my hands and pay up. If I were a cheeky fraudster however, I'd conduct an internet search of the parking company and see how many complaints there are regarding false claims. The cameras would have been situated at the entry / exit of the car park. Now sometimes the cameras get it wrong, they use number-plate recognition and fail to register when a car leaves. I genuinely fell victim to this... popped into Aldi for a few groceries in the morning, left 10mins later and then returned later that night for something I forgot. A week or so later I received a penalty notice and photographic evidence of me entering in the morning and leaving at night - according to the camera I'd left the car at my local Aldi carpark all day. I of course challaged this after discovering many other people were accused of this fraud ( I'm guessing Aldi use just one security company to monitor all their car parks?) My car was on security camera during the day at my place of work. Anyway back to Cardiff. If I were a fraudster myself, I'd have said I only parked in their car park for 10mins to drop someone off then returned later that night to collect them again - the car did not spend over 3hrs in the car park and you have many witnesses that'll back you up on this in court. The excuse is worth a punt however if they can produce evidence your car was indeed parked there ( they may also have a security camera?) then you'll get done for perjury as well and probably find yourself behind bars. Take HJ's advice - if you commit an offence, it's best to pay up.

Correct. Same people who email HJ complaining, often calling names whoever enforcing penalties, to justify their wrong doing.

Some Bozo few months ago, as it was unreasonable to be fined, for stopping at a redline in London, to buy some fags. And just because the star was on the dole, it was unfair. As the cupcake was already under a lot of stress.

Sure, wrong are the other people who follow the rules and pay up for services, such as parking.

Next time you see someone paying for park, call them a sucker... Certainly using the business carpark, which is a facility for its customers, even if closed, is fair... Right.
