parking fine.......

[Metal_Face]

anyway of getting away with it? i know its a long short but thought id give it a go! lol

i popped into tescos in pitsea,essex earlier and as it was pissing down with rain and i wasnt going to be long i thought id park in the disabled bays as generally they are just courtesy spaces. little did i know, tescos have now employed a company to run its car park!!! after noticing the ticket i then saw the signs :wall:

if anybody knows anyway to dodge the fine it would be much appreciated. times are hard at the mo and id rather not be lining someone elses pockets lol

i once got told off for having my lil sister with me, parked in the spot ... this bloke got well shitty with me. i thought it was funny.

but apprently there are rules, if its someone else other than the grumpy cunt in the renault scienic, who looks around 40 with 3 kids thats ages between 5-11 . YOU CANT PARK THERE!

[stompin-sarah]

i have been done in the past for parking in the disabled.... even though i have a disabled son.... however i do not get motability for him so im not actually allowed to park there....


my advice..... pay the fine and dont park there again lol

[shawy]

Not even a over reaction, that's a level headed response :p.

Tbh, when I come to power, be gone with them, if disabled people can't move the extra hundred feet to the shops, they don't deserve to go shopping.

rofl, just kidding, but seriously, like, the walk across the car park is less than the walk around the shop, what's the deal.

[sammyd]

lol its all good tho they deserve a round house kick to the head

if you know any one who owns a garage get them to write a recipt saying it was there at the time of offence and it must have been a coppyed car

[666]

serves you right, i hate cunts like you, my mums disabled and we have so much trouble parking cos cunts like you are to lazy to walk and extra 50 yards,

i hope you get hit by a car and end up in a wheelchair and see how you feel about non disabled takeing the bays

[Metal_Face]

Theres a lesson to be learn't in all of this. Wonder if you can work it out!!!

[Ryan]

keyboard warriors tone down the abuse please.

There is no need to post, calling people cunts in every post and telling them they hope they get crippled.

No further warnings.

[Ashleyp]

your own fault... man up and take the punishment

[claff]

I know a fair bit about these parking charges. let me just say that PRIVATE PARKING CHARGES ARE FAKE AND YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY THEM.

theres a difference between private car parks and council ones, and as it was a tesco car park im 99% sure its a private car park (e.g. eurocarparks which are a big one). tickets you get off these private companies have no legal meaning at all with the court, with the police or anyone... places like tesco will give you tickets that look like proper police tickets to try and make you pay them. they will put things like PCN, FPN or something on them and the yellow and black stripes to make them look legit, they will also use a really formal and threatening tone and lots of references to law to try and convince you that you really do need to pay this ticket or youre fucked. They try and scare you into paying, try and make you think "well its shit but its only 30 quid i wont risk anything more". most people will not think theres a difference and cough up.

just completely ignore it, throw it away or something as theres nothing they can do. You could appeal but as the company handling the appeal is the same company that would benefit from you paying the charge, you can guess what your chances are.

if I get a ticket I'll just throw it and forget... if you just ignore it most of the time you wont hear anything back at all, some of the time they may send you a threatening letter or two and the odd one will keep on pestering. What they do is buy the "registered keeper" details from the DVLA which has your address and name, then they use that to send you letters.

If they keep bothering you (none have with me), then you could get in contact and say that as you were not driving the car you are not liable and that they should get in touch with the driver of the car and stop bothering you. They will probably say something about a contract was formed when you entered there premises or whatever and that the registered keeper is "liable for the parking charge" which is complete bs. If they do this just contact them again then tell them that you were not driving the car so you are not liable and they are wrong, and say that if they continue to send letters you will file for harrassment. After this they will get the message and know theyre not gonna get anything out of you.

The registered keeper is only liable if the ticket is a proper FPN, PCN notice etc set by the police/council. I never contact them at all, not even to tell them that im not paying, as they are not worth the bother.

But just in case you are intimidated by their threatening looking tickets/letters and think they might do something nasty to you just read this: in order to do anything to you in the first place they need to take you to court, then they need to PROVE that you were the one driving, PROVE that theres a contract (proper signage and stuff everywhere), PROVE that by you parking there you were preventing other customers from access costing them money, and even after all that their charge to you has to represent the cost to the company of you parking there, which is probably nothing like what is written on the ticket (a few months back i got one for 70 quid increasing to 120 quid after a week, what a fucking joke).

But you dont even need to be scared of anything because they will NEVER take you to court or in fact do anything apart from sending you threatening letters. So don't worry and dont pay. As you can probably tell I get tickets all the time. as a guess i probably owe a grand or two of these imaginary "parking charges", never paid a penny tho

whew long post, hope it can save some of you a few quid from these tossers who will try and steal your money. if you have any doubts about this post then just ask

[Claireeyy]

well im pretty sure if the fine is not from the council you dont have to pay it. a friend of mie got a fine for parking in a morrisons carpark, her dad went to his solicitors and told them, they said it dnt need to be paid and sorted it. she got no fine

[AXracing]

YES!!!!!!!!

There is a very easy way to get you out of most parking fines as long as there not government fines.

WARNING!!!! DO NOT TRY THIS WITH A GOVERMENT FINE!!!!!!!!

Privet parking companies can NOT issue fines to car owners. It is illegal for them to do so. What they can do is issue fines to a driver. This is a very important aspect.

When you get you letter from a privet company informing you should send a letter in reply clearly and nicely saying something along the lines of than you for your letter and that you understand why they sent you the letter as you are the registered owner of said vehicle. However on you were not the driver of the vehicle and could they kindly no longer contact you on this subject.

I privet company has no right to make you disclose who the driver was. It will likely end at that as any further contact to you would be harassment and unless they had a concrete case against you.

Again do NOT try this with government fines as it does not work and will get you in potentially even more trouble!

Handy to know stuff like this ;)

i agree with you dude.

my grandad is disabled and has Emphysemia and needs to use a wheel chair with his oxygen strapped on it.

Makes me fucking sick when people park in disabled bays. When i asked a guy to move his car from a disabled as he just parked there for being a lazy cunt i got told to fuck off. Disgusting.


You deserve the ticket dude, no offence intended

[Bound]

Thanks Claff, this is good advice, so, you're saying (although not necessarily recommending), that you can park anywhere you want, in disabled (questionable ethics for some)/mother and toddler spaces without fear of being fined?

Well, consequence in that, if you do get ticketed, it's not enforceable, unless they have video proof, but it will never get to that as I imagine that's a waste of resources etc?

[benwh555]

I'm not saying that i dont park where i shouldn't, like the fact i like to take up 2 bays so no1 dents my car, but a disabled bay is a different matter.

[0rang3peel]

sweet, local area meet at the disabled bays? see you guise there

[Woody91]

As people have said shouldnt have parked there in the first place however a way around paying the fine is if the details arent right e.g. colour, make, model etc then the ticket is invalid

[Metal_Face]

i agree with you dude.

im not saying i shouldnt have got a ticket, just wondering if there was a way round it, thats all.

i dont see why every1 is getting their knickers in a twist becuase i parked in a disabled bay!! once i even went over the speed limit a little bit :panic:

Same happened to me. I went to Morrisons with my little brother, parked in the parents and child space and some bloke got out of his car and said "Oi, wheres ya kid??" I was like, "He's there right next to me". That shut that muppet up. Think he was stereotyping as I drive a Saxo and didn't expect a child to be in the passenger seat.

[Metal_Face]

lol mate i wasnt having a go, was just saying my opinion on the matttter

the title of the thread isnt "am i a cunt for parking in a disabled spot?" though lol

anyways, its late and i need sleep, got to get up early and pick up a new exhaust :A: night all :y:

[Pieface]

Annoys me when you see parents with like 15 year old teenagers using the Parent and Child bay.

[Mr_P]

So you didn't want to get wet, so you took up a bay designed to be larger in order to aid minders/carers to easily place somebody from a car into a wheelchair.

So assuming this person can not use the bay now, they have to go looking for two spair spaces side by side so they have enough room. In order to find these spaces and ensure they are still free when they return they end up parking at the right far end of the carpark.

So basically, because you didn't want to get wet, that little old woman in a wheelchair and here carer are now drenched to the bone, she gets pneumonia and is rushed to hospital....





I hope you are ASHAMED!! :P

[Metal_Face]

ill find out in a bit

[smiith]

say you dont know who it was driving the car, therefor you cant pay the ticket :)

[Pieface]

You disgust me.

[davidharvey]

Ignorant as it was to park in a disabled spot you wont have to pay this as it is a PRIVATE car park.

I was picking someone up outside Tesco here and parked on the main road on double yellows. Along comes plod and gives me some verbal......

But says "next time stop right outside the Tesco door"

"Ummmmm" says me "isnt that the same double yellows there?"

"They dont count" says he "PRIVATE PROPERTY"

Take note, on the same vein you are not insured there either

[Mr_X]

TBH, when i shop at places like that, im giving them my custom so they can gtfo.

i dont tend to go shopping in busy times so if a disabled person needed a space they are plenty

[VTRelite]

Parking in disabled bays to me depends on what time of day it is. I would never park there in 'peak times' as I know they are needed during those times but when I go there in the early hours of the morning (like after midnight to about 4am lol) then as long as I wont get fined for parking there then I have no problem in parking in a disabled bay

[SaxBuild]

As pointed out by a few on here.

Parking in a 'Non' council regulated carpark, is classed as a private carpark. You can't get a fine from a 'Private' carpark as they can't be upheld in a 'County' court of law, they can however take you to the small claims court to get the money. But they then have to prove you was the one driving the car and not the owner of the car.

Oh and by the way, if the private company send you out a letter. You have a right to claim under DPA (Data Protection Act), as they are not legally obliged to obtain your information from you number plate and enforce a fine.

As for these spouting there mouths of about you should be ashamed and all this balls, its a bit of paint in a 'non' council regulated car park and means nothing.

[digital]

park were ever you want... they have wheels you have legs... wont hurt them to turn them a few more time to get to the shop...

i have 2 people insured on my car so can i claim that it wasnt me and get the other person to the same? or could i go all "im spatacus" and both of us claim we were driving?? lol that would confuse them!!

bassically is the "car" fined or the driver.

Just say you lent it to a few friends who drove it 3rd party with them being on their comprehensive insurance.

Edit: Or say you was drunk, someone asked if they could borrow your car in which you said yes to but don't remember who it was and they parked in the disabled bay lol.

I would just never park in a disabled space just because well ive never been in that much of a rush to get into tescos. I used to play a game at the cinema wheres the furthest parking bag I can park to make my fat friends walk it.

There's a difference between a bit of paint, and a bit of respect. I'm not ashamed in the slightest on what I said, and you can't get all high and mighty. I'm sure they would love to not be disabled, but something in their life has caused to be. Let's say a soldier was injured in the war and has to use a wheelchair, he can't get out because some idiot who's perfetly abled walking and didn't park 5 metres away because they have to be as close to the store as possible as they are too lazy to at least gain some fitness to walk these extra 5 metres.

they can apply via the DVLA to get access to the information. they get audited AFAIK to check they're using it correctly

look, can we just stop all this moaning please? have you ever sped in a car? i had 2 friends and my last girlfriend killed when a speeding car hit them! so does that make you a cunt? because i can say without a shadow of a doubt that you have gone over the speed limit!!

i dont make a habbit of parking in disabled spaces! it was pissing down with rain, out of the 40 or 50 disabled bays about 7 were taken (when i came out about 6 of the cars had tickets on!) and i didnt even park close to the door i just parked close to a bit where i could get undercover and not get soaked!!

sorted?? if not, you can carry on moaning and ill carry on with the piss taking remarks :y:

i only asked a question ffs lol

I don't speed no, and have you ever sped in a car? And also I bet not everyone speeds intentionally. I bet you can't accidently park in a disabled space, unless you were that blind. I don't care if 6 other cars had tickets on, you still parked there and you can't justify it to me. I'd never think about parking in a disabled space even if there were 100 empty spaces as I know that you can get tickets.

ive obviously offended you in some way and for that i am sorry, as funny as it may sound to you but sometimes people do the odd "bad" thing or something they shouldnt have done. That must be beyond your comprehension as an upstanding moral citizen. it not like im some little rudeboy chav giving it large and acting like a complete cunt!! i made a mistake i parked somewhere i shouldnt as i didnt think that for the 5 or so minutes i was in tescos a fucking convoy of blue badge holders would turn up.
