The BPA are asking motorists "Do you Know Your Parking Rights

Nearly 24.7 million motorists in the UK believe that parking rules and regulations are confusing.

Bet this lot dont know:

The information service will be launched with an invitation-only event sponsored by Shadow Roads Minister Richard Burden MP at the House of Commons on 25th November.
BPA President Ashley Bijster will officially launch the campaign, which will also be attended by Under-Secretary of State for Transport Robert Goodwill and Under-Secretary of State for the Department for Communities and Local Government, Penny Mourdant.

Perhaps a rep from the BMPA should contact these MPs to get an invite. This sounds like another BPA recipe for disaster in terms of misinformation in the public domain AGAIN, from a Trade Body paid by its money-grabbing members and yet which doesn't point out they 'are not a regulator' when MPs mistake it for one.

" 1 in 10 do not know the difference between the rules for parking in a council or private car park"

Is that because the BPA Ltd member Private Parking Companies do their level best to disguise their fake "fines" as Council penalties?

As you may know, Patrick Troy, when asked why PPC paperwork looks so much like the real stuff issued by councils, said it was "just a coincidence" and anyway,councils might have copied PPC paperwork!

We know full well that the BPA's grasp on reality is shaky at best. Look at those figures they produced to Parliament in support of their arguments for keeper liability pre-POFA?

When caught out in that terminalogical inexactitude of truly monumental proportions (the BPA's figures exaggerated the situation by a mere two orders of magnitude) the BPA weaseled away pointing its finger at its members, crying "we wuz mislead".

Well, if that's true then its members can't be trusted in what they say any more than what they do but who was it who commissioned the study this so-called "trusted source" has been created on the back of? Why, it was none other than the Approved Operators aka the PPC's, the BPA's seemingly untrustworthy members!
