    But what about
    • When you visit a car park twice in one day, but the ANPR cameras conveniently forget your first exit and second entrance, and assume you've been there all day
    • When the PPC operatives fraudulently cook the evidence
    • When they PPC operative photographs your dashboard from a sneaky angle such that your displayed permit is not visible
    • When you enter letter O instead of number 0 (typographically identical on a number plate), pay up, but still get a ticket
    • When you are parked 1 inch on the white line, causing no inconvenience to anyone
    • When the signage is hidden, invisible in the dark, or mounted so high you can't actually read it
    • When the machines don't work properly, happily take your money, but issue a duff ticket
    • When you circle a full car park for 20 minutes in the hope of finding a space, give up and leave, yet still get a ticket
    • When you stop for 30 seconds to check the parking conditions, decide against and leave, yet someone has photographed your car and you get a ticket in the post
    and many more, all of which are well documented here.

    Speeding is an absolute offence. Parking charges are much muddier. Like I said, you are being a tad naïve.

    Thank you, was unaware of this.

    Or just simply park within the rules


    Some people might say that your post is the sign of a true bell-end.
