MOTO Service station

MassivePraters

Read the threads and I'm confused where to go and what to click.   

I parked in MOTO for a nap at just before 2am.   Car park was virtually empty and I wasn't aware of any parking restrictions apart from car park or lorry park.   Had a nap and left at just before 430 and car park still virtually empty.   Today my wife as registered keeper received a PCN for £100 (reduced to £60).  

Whilst my wife is RK I was driving and took a nap as per the motorway signs - Tiredness kills, take a break.   I exceeded the limit by 32 minutes but I've seen elsewhere that Nicholas Bowen took on Capita and won for overstaying by 35 mins due to taking a nap.


  I didn't see signs and they state it says on entrance and exit.
I was concentrating on road markings upon entry and although I didn't see them upon exit surely that would be absolutely pointless place to display it

Any advice greatly appreciated

Of the threads you read, did that include the Newbies/FAQ thread? If it did, a mere 'speed read' is not recommended as it answers just about every question we ever see on here.

Which PPC and what is the alleged breach of contract stated in the Notice to Keeper (NtK)? Is the NtK fully compliant wth ALL the requirements of PoFA to be able to hold the Keeper liable for any alleged breach of contract by the driver?

From what I've seen the signs are generally clear  in the Moto service station car parks.  You weren't looking out for them before or after your sleep.  Is that a valid reason for your fine to be set aside?

What fine would that be?

We disagree.

Evidence of photos seen (over many years here) of service station or MSA signs shown in hours of darkness prove they are unreadable and not adequately prominent to make them 'bound to be seen' by arriving drivers, who at night often never have reason to leave the car.

Please tell us: do you work for a parking firm because your posts on this board suggest a PPC view and interest.

Errr... what fine?

@MassivePraters which parking firm?

Is the NTK POFA-worded? Please don't show us. Don't ask us to tell you!  We want you to understand it and tell us.

Do the research by comparing yours to my thread of NTK pictures. Once you've done the comparison, post again to tell us: POFA or non-POFA?

And you've now read the NEWBIES thread?

@Coupon-mad notified under paragraph 9 (2) (b) under schedule 4 of protection of freedom act 2012 if that's what u mean.   I'm unsure what I'm supposed to be looking at on the newbies thread.   Took me a while to find out how to read my thread 🫣

@Coupon-mad group nexus.   I'm clicking the blue under the post but nothing loads.  Am I doing something wrong?

Yes. You've missed the sentence CLICK at the top of this/any page (there's also one at bottom of every page below 'leave a comment')

Home > Motoring > Parking tickets fines and parking in the white box is the place to click.

Click on the 3 bars to left of MSE FORUM opens a menu the Quick Links takes you to your thread with many other options. Hope this helps you to find way round the forum.

@Nellymoser I saw the sentence but couldn't find the home part at top of page.    I've definitely seen quick links so I'll give that a go. Thanks

@LDast I don't know.  I'm really struggling to navigate here.   I used to think I was good with computers but I'm clearly not
