OP, if you parked where the red blob is in that picture, I can see two dropped curbs for two driveways.

It's a fine and maybe a tow for blocking disabled access, and a tow
if you block drives with cars on?

I parked where the blue car is, imagine if it was not there and it was half way between the red blob and that, but yes it was were there is a "dropped curb". There were no cars in the driveways though when I parked there. So, tomorrow I go to the pound, pay the ridiculous money and hope they mess up somewhere?

Thanks so much to everyone helping me with my nervous breakdown lol

Yep, they have got you based on the dropped kerb. See the link I gave - it's nowt to do with whether there's a car on a driveway and often there is no driveway if the kerb is lowered just to help disabled people cross the road.

You are right, 'you pays your money and then you makes your appeal' (with pepipoo's help). You may not win but you risk NOTHING as you will have already had to pay up front. Don't give up hope, give it a go based on what pepipoo say. They are unlikely to be able to comment much until they see pics of the paperwork. See their FAQs 'how to post pictures' and add the pics asap, as a reply on your thread.

Considering you were towed, not just fined, I thnk pepipoo is your best bet.

Nice adjudicator bearing in mind the pics of the car across the dropped kerb!

Can you link us to see your thread on pepipoo so we can follow your progress?
