The signs say don't drive tired, take a break.

But if you stop for a break and happen to fall asleep so you are over the time allowed and they hound you for money, you will drive tired next time.

The Dept of Transport says this

The only reason parking companies operate in motorway services in the middle of nowhere, is to scam money from people
Which service station operator would be duped by a parking company into thinking that motorists abuse their parking ?  Expensive everything ..... they really have been sold a pup, more fool them. BUT could the service station be on a percentage of scam charges, something the DoT needs to investigte 


In this thread the Tracey seems to think it stops park and ride ???? 
IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE ?    SO STUPID

Just wanted to say thank you so much for the advice, MOTO were extremely helpful and have sorted it all out today!
The response said that they could see I had every intention to pay so the fine will be waived. 
Much appreciated! 

It's just brilliant when advice results in a very positive outcome, and in such quick order. You won't start to understand how much satisfaction that gives me (and I expect many other regulars). 

I'd continue to patronise MOTO MSA's but I'd give a wide berth to RoadChef equivalents because they would not have been anywhere near as helpful. Worth 'hanging on' for another 20 miles or so to get to a MOTO service area. 

Glad it's sorted, have a great weekend - without this monkey on your back!

Great!

I really hope you have done the Government Consultation by email and objected absolutely to ANY debt recovery fake 'costs' being added on top of a parking charge (of course) and told them what you think of them increasing charges to £130 instead of £100...which is already extortionate.

You have 6 days to do the consultation.  Please, please, do and do it by email so you attach evidence.  Spread the word, is closes within days, next week!

Also, I hope you've also registered for the Group Action, against the DVLA (open to anyone with a PCN since 2018?).  Gotta be in it to win it!  Nothing to lose, and it's genuine.

Read the threads about those important matters, they both need doing, right now, this week.
