Only if they are misleading drivers with the AOS roundel. They are allowed to be BPA Corporate members (not a round logo).

Thanks again for all your help ladies & gents:T:T:T:T:T:T

Hi,

I popped the bonnet on Saturday to fill oil on car and lo and behold, a parking ticket from PPS had become stuck on top of my car engine - slipped or blown off windscreen I presume.

It relates to an event 25 days ago, where the vehicle was parked in a car park which is P&D, or permit from the pub who own land. You can also use 'RinGo' a mobile app to pay. I checked the records and a valid ticket was purchased on day in question but 2 minutes after PCN issued.

Checked the newbies section, have the template to send for a IPC company. I gather I should send now rather than wait for NtK?

A few points though;

1) PPS display membership of BPA on signs, but they have not been members since March '16. Could this be relevant?
2) There is a sign on the entrance, not lit, which has basic details, but is compliant with the IPC Code of Practice.
3) The two signs within the car park are identical but have conflicting statements and are confusing (must display a ticket at all times, then later states not to leave the car park until payment confirmed if paying by mobile - inferring no need to display a ticket)

I guess my question is, if the signage complies with the IPC guidelines (notwithstanding point 1) then is there's much chance of using this as defence or are IPC guidelines flawed?
I suspect the fact the driver appears to have left the car park, regardless of the short time between PCN issuance and parking payment made, means unlikely to be set aside under any grace periods?

disgusting , oil not checked for 25 days :rotfl:

Well done! I wonder if this was a coincidence?

It's not all good news....the following day the car was keyed front to back and is costing my insurance company £2,000 to repair.

I hope so. I'm so paranoid about parking too close to others and not giving them enough room to get out. Ultimately they hold the ace card... a key down the side and probably a dashcam wouldn't identify them. Oh well the £100 will meet some f the excess
