Sir Bob Almighty! 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 My dad did once, only because he was ticketed whilst walking to the ticket machine to BUY a ticket to park. What are your grounds of appeal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonraider 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Saturday evening we parked in a local car park which leads onto Broadsands Beach (beautiful spot) Hubby was desperate for a pee! I bought a car park ticket (1.60 night time charge) I was just taking my ticket when I noticed on the top of the ticket machine a small notice informing people that the car park is locked shut at 8pm. It was just before 8 so as we didnt want to get locked in for the night we drove out and parked just outside on double yellows. Its a quiet lane, we werent obstructing anything. We would have driven off but by then hubby was nearly wetting himself So we stuck our ticket on the windscreen and walked through the car park to use the loo, of course the toilets were closed! There were a few people about o we had to walk up the hill and on abit so hubby could pee behind a bush When we came back at 8.12pm to find the parking ticket stuck there, I was hopping mad. Ok I know we were parked on double yellows but we'd clearly showed we had bought a ticket for parking, I rekon its very harsh. Hubby says not worth appealing, just pay it as we were at fault. But I'm going to give it a go. I once got him off jury service with one of my letters!! EDIT: After reading that over again....NO it isnt a local dogging spot and NO we didnt go there for a snuggle either (just incase any of you have any ideas) Edited May 12, 2009 by Toonraider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 After being operated on for colon cancer my dad's got about an inch of his intestine left. He was on his way home from treatment and had to run for a loo. They weren't having none of it like. Apparently he should have sat in his own faeces until he found appropriate parking.

Sir Bob Almighty! 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I think its worth a punt like, i'd definitely give it a go, all depends on who handles the appeal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parking ticket was for 70 quid (35 if you pay within 14 days) It does say if you appeal and fail you will normally be offered the 14 day offer again. So nothing to lose. Must get it in the post now !

Jay Jay Sea 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I have been successful. I was parking up at Tynemouth last summer (evening) on the front to walk the dof along the beach. Was heading back to the car and spotted, what at first I thought was an intruder, a parking attendant fixing a ticket to my window. I told him that I had seen a group of kids assault an old man so I ha jumped out of the car to help and the kids ran off. Parking attendant said 'sorry mate, that's the way she goes'. I said to him, 'look mate, mate, mate you don't understand, I've just tried to help this old fella to his feet'. Then he says 'yeah ok man, just doing my job'...I was livid. I put the dog into the back of the car and as he was fixing this ticket, I opened the passenger door and opened the glove compartment. 'No hard feelings matee' said the attendent. He didn't finish he sentence. I clobbered the fcker with a crow-bar and bundled him into the car withhim almost fully unconcious. The dog was tearing away at him and I sped of toward Blyth, turning off for Plessy Woods. I knifed the fcker to death nad remember repeating over and over 'fcking tixcket you leech, parasite, blood-suckign hell fiend...I'll fcking ticket you', whilst knifing him. I tied the dog to a tree and got stuck up the old attendant whilst stuffing an old handkerchief into his mouth. Shot the old muck, cut him up, fed him to the dog and buried some left-overs in the woods. What a night that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Well, I got a parking ticket and questioned the authenticity of the ticket. Seemed its a private company. But, and Im far rom an expert, but they might invoice you, as a company, but they cannot bind you to pay it as you have not entered into a contract with them. I think thats the case for some of these firms, not sure about all. Most of them make their money by people saying "its easier to just pay it" and they usually have a thing where its half the price if you pay now. they threaten with legal action and all sorts to bully people into paying. Mind, some are legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant park anywhere now and they dont know the meaning of common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7327 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Without meaning to sound harsh, parking tickets dont allow you to park on double yellows. I got a ticket once, and rightly so. About a week later I got a phone call from a man who had received the offence details in the post with my personal information on by accident. I wrote a letter to the council doing my nut saying I hadnt even accepted liability for the ticket yet and they are spreading details of my offence around random strangers. i got a letter back apologising and waiving the fine to say sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
