    So PoPLA are asking people to identify the driver. Naughty, naughty.

    "On the day of parking how easy was it for you to find a space?"

    Nobody should be filling in any of those questions.

    I don't have a sister. :D

    Perhaps they're hoping to build up an individual PPC profile?  For themselves or the BPA?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    As with posts on here that we correct , all they should do is replace the word YOU with
    The Keeper
    The Driver

    As required

    Plus keep it optional and not mandatory

    Never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to construct sentences that do not contain the words

    My , Me , Myself & I , now add the word You to the mix too

    I see nothing wrong with it and fail to see how they are asking one to identify the driver.   At least they have not asked if you are BAME/LGBT whatever.

    How easy was it for YOU to find a space
    Not hard to turn that into a BoP declaration of the drivers identity.

    for once i agree with you, the is a tick box section at the end where you agree or disagree to put the data in a customer survey and you dont even have to answer those questions
