The Draft Private Parking Code of Practice (PAS 232) now out for Consultation

All in all making it virtually impossible for BSI to detect

Other than via identical text .... and identical spelling errors!

Totally agree

One of the suggestions that I have made is that parking on private lane and LA car parks should be covered in the test and driving lessons. 

I have some young relatives who are learning to drive and I have told their dad to take them into a private car park and explain the terms and conditions and ANPR to them. 

The Beavis case was decided by men on very high salaries not young apprentices. I don't want to see them lose a weeks wages.

Good idea and sound logic.  Hope they bought a ticket or went shopping (if it was a retail car park) otherwise they would then get a lesson in how to defend a PCN!

PPCs must have the weasels on overtime this weekend - CtrlC, CtrlV, - CtrlC, CtrlV, - CtrlC, CtrlV .......

Comment count has just hit 2,500 (exactly). Let's see where it is later this evening.

Has any one had a reply from BSI ... or any one else regarding spam subversion?

No reply from BSI but I only clicked on their report button, I didn't use the "Contact Us Online" system on this occasion.  It worked for me in the past when I had a technical question and one of their advisers replied - even though it was a week-end.

239 new comments since lunchtime. Overtime rates must be good! 💰

If regulars have concluded their inputs, perhaps a final push to highlight spamming/duplication/copying and pasting should be outlined to the BSI. I wonder what Sir Greg is making of this?

The PPC focus within the consultation is just so predictable and utterly obvious - commenting mainly in areas linked to anything that maintains their income line, really nothing to do with landowner needs (despite spuriously disguised attempts to put them at the centre of their comments), and certainly nothing in the interests of motorists, their very special cash cow.

Penalise, penalise, penalise - profit, profit, profit. Unambiguously!

They don't like the idea of the debt collectors being regulated by the FCA. They seem to think that it can't happen. Definitely against the charge levels (no surprise there). They have bought this on themselves.

Just found three identical comments about the FCA and why they should not control the debts (they aren't debts until a judge says so!) so I have reported them to the BSI by using the contact us online facility - let's see what we get back.
