UKPC Parking Charge
Discussion
My wife parked the car slightly outside the marked parking bay and received a £100 parking charge.
She did not see a sign indicating charges for parking outside the bay but there is likely to be one in the car park somewhere.
Should this just be paid and lesson learnt, or are these parking charges ones that can be ignored?

Slightly?
Sorry, no help I know, but that made me chuckle out loud.
Why would she need to see a sign to say park within the lines?

I cant excuse her parking - it was very poor and I have already lectured her about that. It's a pet hate of mine when people selfishly park across bays. The car park is 'free' so no tickets required.
Wowza. That's flippin' keen of the attendant to patrol a free car park! I'm guessing the only transgressions that can be looking for is poor parking or overstaying?I wouldn’t pay as I’m semi retired with plenty of time to battle parking companies.

The first question is what do the signs at the site state regarding the parking within the bays?
I suspect the signs at the site do not mention this as if they did they would have included a photograph of the sign in the invoice you have received.
If the signs at the site do not mention that parking inside of the confines of the bay is a requirement you can appeal AS THE REGISTERED KEEPER OF THE VEHICLE, NOT THE DRIVER on this basis. If the signage at the site doesn't mention it is a requirement of the site that vehicles must be parked within a marked bay, the PCN / invoice you have received isn't valid and you can state this in your appeal.
Or you can decide to pay the £60 as a life lesson to your wife as her parking is dreadful.

They almost certainly will mention this. It's always been mentioned wherever I park. (I drive a Ford Ranger so I always read the signs to make sure there's no weight limit, which there often is too)7Llewelyn said:

Oh come on!! Do we really need signs to tell us to park within the marked bays?! I suspect the signs at the site do not mention this as if they did they would have included a photograph of the sign in the invoice you have received.

Not heard of a weight limit before. How often are they specified?doc261 said:

Me too. I wouldn’t pay just because I reckon I could get away with not doing so.Can’t excuse that parking though.
