How can the law assume we've entered contracts, assume we see signs?

visited Google Maps.
Is the sum of the penalty in the largest font or buried in small print?
ALL cases here ''have signs up''...we still win 99% of the time.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

I would think they are. I dont think I can argue this. There are signs there I am not disputing it. I just did not see them at the time I went there. Only when I received the PCN with images of them all, and then visited Google Maps. The route I took through the car park and where I parked meant I did not see any, I was not in front of any. If you then walked from my car to the building there was none along that path. I showed them this but Popla still refused my appeal. It would be a matter of opinion only whether the signs are "clear, prominent and there to be seen". A judge could easily say they are and therefore I am in the wrong even though I never saw them and so did not enter a contract.
Have you thought about why you did not see the signs? The images that PPC's produce are shown in the best possible light.
When I saw the plan of the car park that the PPC produced I could not understand why I had missed seeing a ticket machine. When I went back to the car park to take my own photographs I found that the ticket machine was not signed and by a fire door which when open blocks the view of the machine. There are often delivery vans outside blocking the view. The PPC's photographs show the car park empty.
You can also make a strong case about the need to take a break.
