McDonald's / ukpc - safe to admit to branch manager I was the driver?

spudseyite

Hi

So I received a notice through the post yesterday from ukpc that I overstayed in a McDonald's car park by 25 mins. I was in the restaurant the whole time with a friend, unfortunately I don't have a receipt. It was not a busy time (the car park was half empty) and it was a totally legitimate visit.

As per the newbies guide I've lodged my appeal to ukpc and marked myself as the keeper not the driver. I was thinking of phoning the McDonald's branch manager to try and get this cancelled directly but wondered if there's any risk in admitting to them that I was in the restaurant and therefore revealing myself as the driver? Could this information get back to ukpc and harm my appeal?

Alternatively I do nothing and just go through the appeal process.

Thanks

Wow, that's one leap! Does it mean that everyone/anyone in the restaurant is the driver of the vehicle they turned up in?

If it's just a phone conversation do you think the manage will be remotely interested in the differentiation between a registered keeper, a driver or a passenger, when he'll have his work cut out to fry the next pan of chips.

Just keep it natural.
