A little gem on the auto email response from Euro Car Parks
From October 1 2012 and the introduction of the Freedom of Protections Act 2012 - if the driver does not follow due process the registered keeper may be issued with a county court judgement which will include costs ---- So what do they do, just print them of and then issue them like sweets?
