Outside my university you have to pay for parking, it costs 40p an hour and a max stay of 4 hours.
Yesterday i parked my car at 9.20 and put 90p into the machine, this covered me till 11.35. I had an exam at 12.30 so i needed to stay at most till 12.05.
At 10.41 i put some more money into the machine, this time i put £1.20, this covered me till 13.41, which was more than the 4 hours but i was not going to be staying that long.
I went to my car at 12pm and then saw i had a parking ticket there!
The attendent saw my car at 9.55 and 11.37 (according to the parking ticket), and the penalty he charged me with was Parked with payment made to extend the stay beyond the initial time.
Now on the signage around the parking areas it doesnt say that you can only pay once it just says that you are not allowed to stay more than 4 hours.
I am contesting this ticket as i didnt stay longer than 4 hours!
Would you contest this or would you just let it slide?
