    It's not a fine.

    And wheels in the wider markings of an accessible bay is not 'parking outside of bay lines' it's within them!

    Just do PLAN A first (NOW) and PLAN B on day 26, as the NEWBIES FAQS sticky thread fully explains.


    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Where is the ‘sticky thread’ please? Have tried looking but new to the site. The parking ticket arrived through the post, not on the windscreen. Thanks for your help, really can’t afford this at the moment.

    also worth noting there’s only the striped off area on one side and the doors can hit the metal bars the other side, hence why the wheels were in the hatched area.

    thanks again.

    The sticky Announcement for NEWBIES is always one of the top five threads on the main parking forum page, the same page where you started this thread.

    Where did the alleged event occur? It may have cropped up here before.

    I don't have a sister. :D

    Ah, ok, have found it now and will read through. It was parked outside of tk maxx, though there’s also a boots, m&s, next and mountain warehouse as well. Thanks again for all your help.

    where is this place?
    if you need to park as you did so you could open the doors wide enough then there is something wrong with the layout of the bay.
     This should be obvious to the person issuing the ticket, and if the vehicle was or is obviously carrying a person with a disability then by ticketing it no reasonable adjustment was made breaching the equality act.

    I have run car parking at events, and if we have had someone that needs extra space they have been accommodated by giving them plenty of space, parking then across two bays in the odd occasion where a marked surfaced car park was used instead of a field. on that occasion there was also a ppc with anpr cameras, that anpr problem was solved with bin bags over the cameras (with permission of the car park owner)

    That doesn't tell us the location. Plan A is always a complaint from the keeper to the landowner/retail store managers/site managing agents, (information often found on the site welcome board) and the keeper's MP.

    The location is at the fraddon services in Cornwall, formerly known as Kingsley village. No idea who the landowner is etc.
