Liverpool Airport! Red Lines, 5 seconds, no drop off or pick up

Options
Yes I know!
Tipping down with rain, trying to find the free drop off and turned into the wrong road for car hire return which was signposted drop off 2. Pulled over onto red lines, looked out window at fence and read "£100 fine for stopping" and drove straight off. Stationary for approx 5 seconds! No one got in or out of the vehicle. I carried on road and did a U turn.

As there was a camera van on roundabout have I just earned myself £100 fine? Feel sick at just the thought of that coming in the post.

Is it likely being Liverpool airport?

    Very likely. Do not panic, LJLA is well known here. I suggest you use the search function. Hint the magic word is byelaws.

    Thanks!
    I understand I will not pay with msw forum members help.
    Will post if / when I get the letter!

    I already understand there will be no common sense when they review photo / video from previous threads.

    Thanks for your support.

    This is a well known (to us) scam. Even if you get a ticket, the chances of you having to pay a penny are extremely slim. Some reading

    VCS have never scraped a ha'penny from anyone who have posted here about LJLA 'stopping'. Don't you be the first.

    You'll likely get a blizzard of debt collector letters which can be ignored. There's never been a LJLA court case. Should you be the first, come back for help. There's a pledged fighting fund available to provide top legal assistance against the first case VCS dares to pursue.

    they dont "do common sense"

    come back after 6 YEARS has elapsed , so in 2023

    as for the bylaws, the AIRPORT has 6 months to take you to magistrates court , so that doesnt time out until about FEB 2018
  • I got a series of letters from the same people a while ago and did as I was instructed on here. Heard nothing from them for months

    Nice contemporaneous confirmation that forum advice in this situation is correct.

    Continue to ignore anything from VCS @upthetics, just come back if you get any (highly unlikely) court papers. Thanks for providing support to the OP.

    Just be wary of this site. Don't throw anything away and if you reply keep it tight.

    We were all bravado about GPEOL until Beavis so assume they might try something later - and don't get another as they like multiples.
