Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the appropriate board on which to post this question but I got a parking fine outside my work yesterday which read 'Parked without clearly displaying a valid Pay and Display Ticket/ Voucher.' The thing is, I DID have a pay and display ticket which I'd paid to up to 6pm (I got the fine at 2pm). It was kind of visible but not entirely. However, I think I got the fine notice because I had paid for the ticket from a machine other than the one at my work which is pretty expensive. I got the ticket a few streets away from a cheaper machine (yes I'm a stinge, I'm a student!) and I'm thinking that perhaps this is why I got the fine as opposed to my ticket not being visible. My problem is that I want to appeal the fine because I had a ticket but in doing so, I am risking paying the greater fine of £60 as opposed to £30 if it is rejected. Can anyone shed some light on whether it is ok to pay for a ticket from a machine that is not in the immediate area by where the car is parked? I'd love if anyone could offer some advice before I send away my appeal!
Many thanks,
Jen xxx
