Parking Ticket

davestar_delux · 20 Feb 2007 at 16:00

Got one today from the council, the thing is you are allowed to park there for 1 hour, I think I was less than 1 hour so i'm thinking of appealing it. So what would happen if I did that? Do I have to prove I wasn't longer than an hour or do they have to prove I was? Has anyone had any success in appealing such a thing?

Thing is if I pay in 14 days and don't dispute it then it is £30, otherwise it is £60.

I really think it wasn't there over an hour but i'm probably going to give in and pay the £30 for the sake of an easy life. I just hate injustice (goddamit).

If you were SURE that you were less than an hour you might have half a case.

Yeah but how do you plead your case is what i'm asking? Is it not just my word against theirs?

Do you have any form of ticket ? Any form of proof (receipt for a store or petrol) or any form of cctv ?

Nope, I was just handing something in at college.

Yours vs there word won't hold up.

That's all I needed to know, no point disputing it then. I'll just pay it.
