I was an idiot, parking on a clearway,NIP.

So I made an error in parking, parked up in a space in amongst a long line of parked cars. Turns out it was a clearway and on return we've all been ticketed by the police. Received the NIP today.

I was expecting this was just a fine but the NIP has me wondering if this is going to be points now as well. Anyone have any knowledge of how common this is?

There was a sign up but it's 2 miles from where I parked. Really frustrated with myself for not thinking a bit more about where I was parking/just seeing the space and going for it.

I park on them quite often for attending emergencies, and whilst mine get cancelled during the process I've not seen any suggestion of points

how would you get points for that

call the company say it was an emergency.

I'd be amazed if a parking contravention like that resulted in points

It's from the police. They had a few of the cars towed!

Hope so! I was just expecting a fine in the post but receiving the NIP made me wonder if it was going to be more than that.
