Grace period, as per the BPA Code of Practice to which the PPC is signed up. Here's the relevant BPA CoP extract:

The BPA's answer to the grace period!

Dear AOS team

Your code of practice requires your members to give a grace period for someone to enter land controlled by them. Read the signs conveying the conditions of parking to the driver, then for the driver to accept or decline the offer. Then either park or leave the land.
What would be the minimum grace period you would deem acceptable? As if it needs to be just a "Grace period" it could be 10 seconds!

Dear Esmerobbo

Thank you for your e-mail.

Each car park has a different grace period please contact the parking operator concerned and request the information directly from them stating the particular one in question.

Kind regards

Dear AOS investigation team,

I am not requesting information about a specific operator, however I would assume that if is a condition of complying with your code of practice which I presume is auditable there should be a starting point!

I understand every car park would need its own period setting, but there must be a starting point otherwise as I wrote earlier it could be set in seconds!

Surely if a sign is compliant to convey a contract it must contain certain elements, it then follows that it would not be to difficult to recommend a minimum grace period. Even if it was set to the actual time it would take on average to read the sign.

Assuming you stopped and read a compliant sign at the entrance even before parking it would take a certain amount of time. Otherwise an operator could state grace period 25 seconds after that period a contract would be deemed formed.

If it was the operators decision to set a short grace period then how can someone enter a car park, read the signs decide not to enter offered contract and leave the car park without receiving a parking charge.

Simply stating that you must have a grace period without a minimum is unworkable.

I would hope you could give me a more concise answer.

Regards



Dear Esmerobbo

Thank you for your e-mail.

The time a parking operator allows for the grace period is entirely decided by them. In our Code of Practice when recommend offering a grace period but no recommendation as to what length it should be.

Dear BPA member

We have had a complaint that a grace period was not allowed at your ripoff car park.

Kind regards

AOS investigation team.



Dear AOS investigation team.

We do allow a grace period at our ripoff carpark, we allow 1.5 seconds to confirm acceptance of our contract.
