  • Parallel Parking Against The Traffic 9 Sep 2020 (Forum)
    Did this when I broke down yesterday, since the only parking spot was on the other side of the road and I didn’t think to push the car through a U-turn, which would have been more difficult and obstructive. Apparently this is illegal in Taiwan, Fine, tow and storage fees
  • Fines for parking on private property 20 Dec 2010 (Forum)
    there as I didn't want to stay on the road for any longer than I absolutely needed to. Upon returning to where the car was parked I discovered it had been towed away. It cost me £550 to get the car back! I am currently in the process of appealing the fine and have taken a picture of one of the signs
  • To late to appeal? 13 Sep 2018 (Forum)
    I received a parking ticket and used a company called Private parking appeals. They sorted the situation out for me without me having to pay the ticket. It turnes out that I had used the same car park (under the the same mis-assumption that it was legal) 2 weeks after the first fine i

    Car Parked in disabled bay in St Helier today, correctly displaying Mrs 72 dudes' blue badge (or so we thought!). Came back within the time limit to find a parking penalty notice (proper one issued by town council not a private firm). Reason given: "Failure to display". Hot

  • Parking Fine - This Can't Be Right? 19 Jun 2006 (Forum)
    that afternoon. My car remained parked there overnight (I didn't return to it) and on Friday early afternoon, another ticket was issued. On Friday evening, my car was removed to a car pound. I paid the fine for the second ticket when collecting my vehicle (along with removal and storage charges*). I knew

    Same car, further development! ! When engine is cold, it revs fine and goes into gear forward or reverse, though I still have it parked because when the engine has been running for 10 to 15 mins and warmed up sufficiently, it still revs? Good power etc but only in Neutral or Park,  put
  • Advice please. Fined for upsidedown parking ticket 18 Mar 2013 (Forum)
    I've just been issued with a fixed fee penalty of £20 because my parking ticket was upside down. I want to contest this because the parking tickets are so flimsy that when i opened my door the wind must have flipped it over, and i didn't notice, as i'd put it in correctly. i know its not much

    that I did not have a PCN? I agree that I was parked on a yellow line, 5 mins before I was allowed to. The back of the letter has 'grounds for representations to the council' of which the only one vaguely descriptive of my position is: 'you disagree that the Parking Attendant was prevented from issuing
  • Parking fine for using our own bay...!! 1 Mar 2007 (Forum)
    Last year we had a disabled parking bay painted outside our house, my wife being a blue badge holder. At the time, the council advised us never to leave the badge in the car when on our own bay because a) so many blue badges get stolen and b) apparantly the personal disabled bays outside a badge
  • Overstaying car park duration. 5 Sep 2008 (Forum)

  • Airport fines and disability 14 Nov 2024 (Forum)
    What would happen if a driver  was "fined" for non payment of parking fee - if they were picking up a disabled passenger - in a wheelchair who, obviously could not use a free bus to get to a picking up zone ?

  • Old Parking tickets on your new car 27 Jan 2008 (Forum)
    I'm glad to say that this has never happened to me but having watched the highly entertaining Cops Cars Bailiff type programmes recently it made me think.
