Classic car owners are exploiting a loophole to get free parking at supermarkets and railway stations because hi-tech cameras can't register their vintage number plates

Nice if you have an older style number plate
It's what the BPA say that is a complete load of rubbish .....
"The British Parking Association said ANPR proved to be '99 per cent accurate"
Double dipping comes to mind ???
Wake up BPA for once in your lives

If it really was 99% accurate then the odds of a double dip being missed is 1 in 10,203.

well just say that the goverment stopped all counsils using them because of failure rate , I suspect that that rate was greater than 1%
counsels can waste money buying expensive gear , the parking Cos import there setup from forign countries , look at payment machines , no car in great britain uses 0and O , and I and 1 are not both used neither &*()"£$% , but yet they are on foreign keypads
one of the fist steps of the new parking act would be to remove cameras , or to have them independently certified , and change keypads to UK spec that only include UK car typeface0 -
My classic car was first registered in 1973. I think I shall go and order a set of old fashioned number plates for it.
