Have we seen this classic example of the BPA Code of Practice in action in the form of fine, upstanding AOS member CP Plus? Cost them £2.50 to buy this guy's data from the DVLA and - as ever, unquestioningly - the DVLA supplied it:

Almost as good as the PCN (mentioned on pepipoo ages ago and not CP Plus) resulting from a person deliberately pushing a shopping trolley out of a retail park with their number-plate strapped to it, to test out the 'stringent checks' the PPCs undertake...not!

:eek:
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    The DM have had enough articles now about this skimdustry to know it's not a fine.

    We know its not a fine but the general public don't. Still more education needed.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    But if news articles start using the correct terminology then it'll help to get the message across, so stop people being so "frightened". :)

    Surely, once the Car is put on the transporter it's no longer parked; so the period of parking is incorrect.

    Good point!

    It really does show a classic example of how ANPR charges are UNFAIR and UNCHECKED.
