Chances of getting a NTK

I parked in a free for 2 hours space today for what I thought was going to be a short interview. The inevitable happened and it wasn't short. I got back about 15 minutes late. No windscreen ticket in sight.

There were no cameras around so I might have got lucky if a parking attendant observed my car late (or didn't observe it at all).

Is it a common occurrence where people receive notices to keeper where no windscreen ticket has been issued or do you think I got lucky?

It wasn't a private land car park, just one of those bits by the side of a public road where a sign is up like this one:

If I do get a NTK I will of course read all of the relevant stickies!
What will your verse be?

    Search for the term ghost ticket on the forum to see if people get PCNs after 28 days when they never got a windscreen ticket.

    If thems were the signs then we're talking council. If there was nowt on your windscreen you're in the clear.

    Hi mattye,

    Its really not difficult at all to park and NOT get a ticket. I learnt that from another poster on here, called mattye.

    The rules are on the signs. My advice to you would be to simply abide by the rules on the signs and not get a ticket in the first place.

    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    That would seem the fair thing to do.

    Right, I'm off to give advice to people who have been caught out by PPC scams.
