    @domdon


    All of those affected by this scam - even once you've easily won on appeal - I'm sure you agree THIS NEEDS STOPPING.

    Now please do the government's Public Consultation. We need every poster to complete this vital Consultation before the deadline.

    See this thread: -

    We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious, we get that. It doesn't matter; no knowledge is needed except re your own experiences so you can call out a scam industry and you'll protect millions of motorists and help change the law.

    I've written some guidance on that thread. I have covered almost every question, providing ideas if you agree with our stance on things like DRFs, which we say must be banned.

    Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam 15 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please.

    CLOSES ON FRIDAY. Just days to go.

    I have covered 'Airport drop offs' in my ideas to add to the Appeal Charter question.

    I think it is driver fault (forgetting to pay later) but also operator fault (no way to get a text alert or reminder). They are deliberately relying on human nature and ALL of you would have paid the tariff.

    Same applies at Motorway Service Areas (MSAs).

    Because of the driver fault element (and because there is a tariff that's gone unpaid) I tend to think these Airport ones should be reduced to £20 along with overstays at MSAs when people fall asleep & miss the signs requiring £11-£15.

    All the other examples should see PCNs cancelled completely. Certainly NOT the whole Appeals Charter at £20 a pop for human error.

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