Report to the DVLA, who will pass it onto the BPA, but at least it gives all parties something to do

True, if everyone reports these things it will give them food for thought at least;) besides its a laugh

A brand new business has set themselves up doin MOTs in an old car sales showroom. First thing after putting their name on the shop front (mot superland or something like that) is to put a metre square sign on the front door saying "no Unauthorised or illegal parking, offenders will be clamped, £100 release fee"

I can't see that business remaining long, what a way to treat potential customers. Its not like its in an area where parking is limited either.

Except that clamping is actually illegal now, is it a ppc doing that by the way or just the garage ? I would be inclined to go and tell them that they would be breaking the law to do that

Just been back to Derby, and the Euro car parks penalty signs have been removed, so it looks like theyve seen, and removed it to stop any complaints to the DVLA.


however i have spotted another gem, im not going to post it just yet, as i would like to know if it would warrant a legitimate complaint to the DVLA its from a well known and often posted about PPC in a Pay and display car park;
on the signs next to the pay and dsiplay machines read something like this..( note ive altered some bits to try and mask its location)



Car park prices:
7 days a week, 7am-9pm

up to 1 hour £2.50
up to 2 hours £3.50

this site is managed on behalf of ( name changed) large retail land owner by a ( name changed/obscured) well known PPC

<Logo of PPC>
<logo of large retail land owner >



the well known ppc is also a member of the BPA AOS there are no bpa logos on the sign only that of the ppc and the large retail owner.

Defintely worth reporting to the DVLA with a picture of the sign & info about where this is - the word PENALTY was meant to have been banned well over a year ago for BPA members.
