Stuck in the snow fine

Hi, I got stuck ion the snow on Monday when we had heavy snow unfortunately on my luck I was on a yellow line. I could not get my car out and had to abandon for the night. I told the ownder of a house where ny acr was they said they would over look it from thiefs etc. Unfortunately I received a ticket any ideas if I can do anything.thanks

  • Who issued the ticket?

    If it's a private company, bin it.

    If it's from the council, I would suggest making informal representations, citing the heavy snow as mitigating circumstances compelling you to abandon the car. You never know, they may show some festive spirit! ;)

    If you can't see the lines, the ticket is invalid [assuming it's a council one].
  • Scan/photo the pcn, both sides, remove personal data and post on here. See the stickies at the start for how to. (host on tinypic and put url on here leaving off http:// if you are not allowed to post.)
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
