    But this is the typical garbage expected from the IPC. Either Davies or Hurley wrote it or they approved it. It is geared for parking companies with the onus on people to prove they are trying to protect themselves from a major pandemic.   This is just another Davies and Hurley add-on to their scam.

    How many people have ever heard of the IPC/IAS ... until they get a parking ticket most don't but they are preaching to the motorist and asking them to fall into the trap by naming the driver ??

    This must be the Pinnacle of complete nonsensical rubbish from Davies and Hurley

    I agree, this must go to the press as it is anti covid and anti vaccination. Government should also be alerted as they are desperate to kill off this virus and it must not be hindered  by a money making scam.   It might once and for all show the government that the IPC are simply not fit to be an ATA

    Remember the case that was read out in Parliament of the lady that overstayed and received a PCN. The reason for the overstay was that she had died. The PPC claimed against her estate. How could any company do that?

    Here is a little snippet found on YouTube about the BPA.
    The video is hosted by The Telegraph online.  It is from 2018

    It features Andrew Pester the CEO of the BPA.  Anyone watching may be fooled into thinking this is a highly professional company who, as Pester says, are driving standards upwards ?
    The more you listen, the more flawed it becomes. The only standard they are driving up is to make more parking companies more money. As Coupon-mad showed recently, they want more wide spread ANPR which they know is a flawed system but ......it is a money maker. Maybe it was the BPA who infiltrated the recent consultation suggesting clamping should return

    Take note of what Pester is saying .........

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=815tFw2WJFc&ab_channel=BritishParkingAssociation

    Then watch this Video by Rogue Traders which is dated 2012. 
    Parking company OPC were taken to the magistrates court by Trading Standards and fined £30k
    OPC were banned by the DVLA for a month and OPC came back with a bang because they saved all the tickets and once the ban was lifted proceeded to obtain the details from the DVLA.
    Of course we know that dates are critical ..... we know .... plenty of people would have paid ?

    THE BPA DID NOTHING just as they fail today as we have recently seen with UKPC who were ticketing on land where they had no rights.   So far the DVLA and the BPA have brushed this under the carpet.  

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJx4Sl5g57U&ab_channel=taffy056

    Have the BPA cleaned up their act and raised standards.
    OF COURSE NOT and that is why the BPA is NOT fit for purpose.  Stop. the BPA making marketing videos which in reality are completely untrue

    Mr S Clark of the the BPA is invited to comment ?
    Guess what, we will not hear a peep from Clark

    But the problem here is not the BPA.  

    The morally reprehensible 'policy' is the one published by the IPC.  Shows where their priorities lie. 

    We already knew but I thought that they might actually make an effort to at least look like they are playing nicely and care about people, by paying lip service to the need to make sure that known disabled people are not penalised for having their vaccination.  But no.  The clampers reverted to type.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    But this thread is about both ATA's ?
    The IPC is just a shambles, we all know that. 
    BUT ......
    Of course it's the BPA .... they are in charge of their members and give them access to the DVLA

    The BPA pay lip service to motorists and a wrist slapping to their rogue traders.  It starts with the BPA and ends with the BPA ........  we have seen this time and time again

    i dont like the BPA or what it stands for 
    However its head and shoulders above the IPC. You complain to the BPA about something your quite often get a result.  unlike the IPC who just waft it away
    that does not mean i am steve Clarks biggest  fan but they are far far better then IPC in many regards
