Kinross Services Parking Scamera

[Kinkell]

Parked up and went for an evening's hill walking on Monday. Notified by post of £ 80.00 parking fine reduced to £ 50.00 if paid in 12 days. DVLA gave out my reg. no. details. Moto has photographic evidence to support their claim for £ 10.00 per hour parking charge. This sounds like Moto's answer to wheel clamping north of the border. Suggestions welcome.

there are plenty of signs there so my suggestion is pay it.

the car park is designed to allow for 10 min coffee stops and a wizz, not day trips

Arrived late and jumped in friend's car without noticing the signs otherwise would have parked in Kinross. Thanks for your suggestion.

loads of threads on the legal, speed and old bill forum here, you dont have to pay, they cant prove you were the driver, your are just the owner, dont worry about it, hit the search button!

Yes to summarise, by parking in these car parks, the driver enters into a contract with the parking company.
However the parking company can only get the details of the registered owner from dvla and the owner is under no obligation to say who the driver was.

I had this with a parking charge at Stobhill Hospital and I refused to divulge the details, even when I received several, very threatening lawyers letters. They eventually left me alonbe.

Have a look at topics like this on SP&L - advice generally is to file in bin ,and ignore .

I've asked them to i.d. the driver for me. Its understandable they don't want their carpark abused by car sharers but at that time of the evening there is plenty of space.

My moral compass prevents me bending over for a shafting.

Watchdog had a piece on this a few weeks back. They had a motoring lawyer on who said these types of fines cannot be enforced & the only ones you have to pay are those issued by plod & traffic wardens.
