For future reference don't buy a ticket from the P&D machine in the first place, as that completes the contractual element (see Mustard Dave's post above), i.e. because you bought a ticket you must have consciously read the signage and accepted their offer, and you're then into the muddy waters of whether the judge thinks the £80 is an agreed charge or an unlawful penalty. (although chances of it coming to court are miniscule)

(This approach of not buying a P&D ticket isn't the consensus on here BTW, just my take on it!)

How?

When I get a p&d ticket, I don't read the signage other than to find out how much it is.

The chances are if I read all that bumff, by the time I got back to my car I would have a ticket on it.

I wouldn't fancy arguing in court that I should be released from a contract because I didn't actually read it - Vigilantibus Non Dormientibus Jura Subveniunt.

Would much rather be sat there telling Judge Cocklecarrot that I hadn't entered into it in the first place, but ho hum.
