You're absolutely correct.

I saw your OP asking form urgent guidance and then read all of the responses on page 1

& then a made my post.

Now that I've read you're follow up, It's a shame that the manager didn't have the guts to follow it up, and also, if you are incapable of reading parking information signs correctly, you should not be driving.

Your car needs to be taken from you, and you should be stripped naked, put into stocks, and have mouldy and decomposing food thrown at you to teach you some humilty and also to encourage other morons who park in the wrong spaces the error of their ways.

If I, and millions of others can park correctly, then so can you.

I would never dream of parking the disabled bay or the parent and child spaces unless i have my kids with me they are there for a reason. I do my upmost to make sure that children are safe at all times but occasionally small children have a wonderfull knack of getting away from you at the worst possible moments and parent and child means you feel a little bit safer. As for what age you should use them upto tesco mother and baby club state that they are provided for people with children up until there fifth birthday. It resally annoys me when you see people using spaces that they shouldnt just because they are in a rush or to lazy to walk the extra 200yrds. I also worry about people hitting my car so if i am on my own i park at the back of the carpark were all the extra spaces are. It amazes me how someone will drive around for 15 minutes waiting for a space at the front when it would only take them 2 minutes to walk from the back of the car park.

Well done Kaan_is on your actions in dealing with the situation. Private
companies are not allowed to impose fines-only a Court can do this. In any
event, £60 is way over a reasonable penalty for such a petty infringement.

Unfortunately, when you ask for information on some forums, instead of
getting the help you requested, you are inundated with garbage from holier than thou do gooders who, they would seem, are paragons of virtue in
every respect.

In an age when paedophiles, thieves etc appear to spend less time in jail than
it takes the Police to write out the paperwork, one would think that there were more important targets than yourself.

Personally, all these self righteous people twizzling on about how you shouldn't park in parent and child spaces- the point really is, why should a SUPERMARKET (often built in a place that you can't easily walk to), get extra money out of customers? That's quite separate from the rights and wrongs of the parking space controversy.

As for all the people who detail here that they delight in 'having a go' at others who they see 'parking incorrectly', not being unpleasant, but do you generally 'have a go' at young men who are drunk and incapable, or being generally vile or unpleasant in the street, or who are behaving in a threatening manner to other people, or even at people who you see nicking things?

Oops,guess not! Pick an easy target, eh?

I don't see how the original poster could have been fined because there are no definitions of use for the 'parent and child' spaces on display in car parks are there? How for instance would anyone be able to prove that s/he had not gone to meet/collect a child but the child had decided to go round to a friend's house? Unenforceable fine I would think.

I have my own supermarket parking fine in appeal at the mo. Opinions welcome. Waitrose, one hour slot. Was over the hour. Car park packed full. Reason for overstay and packed car park was that the one other supermarket in town was closed for the week so Waitrose was chock full of double its usual customers on a Saturday morning. Would be a clear case I would think, but for the local council adminstrating the fines, rather than the supermarket.

as i mentioned earlier,you cant be fined for using a P&C space.
how can they prove that there was not a child with you at the time?they can probably give u a ticket,but if you appealed you would win!

parking in p&c spaces is not an offence.

That sounds like a tricky one.

On the one hand you are completly stuffed because you overstayed your permitted time.

But your mitigating circumstance is that Waitrose couldn't get you through the tills quickly enough (not that the council will give a monkeys). As long as you have kept your reciept, the Waitrose manager may be sympathetic to your situation - especially if you bought a decent amount, rather than a paper and a choccy bar.

Please let us know how you get on.

Hows it different? It was put there to help people who need more space etc to get out of cars?




Actually I can agree that people arent considerate anymore - its a pity because the world would be a much nicer place to live if they were! A small minority seem to like to spoil it for others.

Having kids is a choice of lifestyle, bieng disabled isnt.
