ASDA Parking

Cricketfan

Was thinking of parking at my local store but you only get 2 hours for £1. What happens if I want to stay for 6 hours? Asked in my local store and they said get three tickets but surely they would all have the same time on them. Any help would be great.

park somewhere else?

Don't bother paying? The "parking tickets" aren't worth the paper they are printed on?

PArk there and don't pay, simple

Yes, you'll get a little bit of shiny new paper on your windscreen which will be an unenforceable invoice, but don't pay.

And as for the wheel clamping signs, ignore them.
They clamp your car, call the Police - they have NO law on there side at all!

Don't pay, supermarkets are making billions anyway, there just greedy

There is the little inconvenient part about them no longer having permission and trespassing plus there's also the contract you entered into by using the carpark.

A contract needs consideration.

Untrue.

Any contract entered into by parking in any 'Private' car parks is totally unenforceable.

If I were to park in Morrisons, which I have done, over stayed, got a bit of paper blackmailing me to pay, that is unenforceable.

The law is not on these companies side whom think there bully tricks can force people to pay.

I can assure you OP that you will not get wheel clamped, if you do by a private wheel clamping company contact the Police, as in many cases it is a criminal act.

Any 'ticket' issued by private car parks, supermarket car parks etc is just simply an unenforceable invoice, to which wont affect your credit rating whatever they claim nor will ever see the inside of a court room.

You can even park in train stations and so long as they DONT have a bypass law you can get a 'ticket' and ignore it the same, the only time it will become an offence is if it has a bypass law sign displayed clearly upon entering the car park and you do not pay the ticket.

Its true that ppc tickets are completely unenforceable and should be ignored, but why would you park there for 6 hours in the first place ?

Call the police and unfortunately the Boys in Blue will just quote the famous five words. ""Sorry its a civil matter"".
Its a shame to see posters advocating deliberately taunting the private parking companies, eventually they will find the guts to take it further. Whilst they nearly always lose (apart from setups) its a load of hassle getting it all sorted out.
Can Sassyone point us in the direction of the ""Bypass"" as I don't know what this looks like and it sounds interesting. I would suggest exercising caution about Railway station parking as some tickets are genuinely under Rail Bylaw 14 and this goes to the magistrates court if not paid.

I'm getting a lift to Nottingham on Monday night for the cricket but will have to park in town somewhere while I'm gone which only leaves the train station (£10) or a car park which happens to close down some of it's floors after a certain time. Do they even go around checking for tickets.

Our local Asda carpark is a Council run one therefore their tickets are enforceable. It might be worth checking the signs at the car park to ensure it isn't the same.
