Parking

Not parked correctly within the markings of a bay or space. You must park with all your wheels within the parking bay. (Contravention Code 24)

How to have your penalty charge notice (PCN) for this parking contravention cancelled.

We may be able to assist you in having your penalty charge notice for this contravention cancelled. In order to ensure that you receive the maximum help we have developed an easy to follow 3 stage process.

-This may also include diagrams and pictures showing signage requirements etc.

Possible grounds of appeal for this contravention

1. Many PCN’s are issued in our opinion for, silly technical breeches of this contravention. You should certainly not receive a PCN if your wheels were within or on the white markings. We have yet to find a local authority which counts the overhang of vehicle!. However we have witnessed parking tickets issued incorrectly when the wheels of a vehicle were on the white demarcation line. Hopefully the incidences of such ticketing should decrease now that more and more parking attendants are required to take photographs of the alleged contravention.

2. Were the markings clearly visible?  Quite often the Road markings are barely visible or obscured by leaves etc. If so then you may wish to appeal. See the diagrams below.

Below we show diagrams of the correct bay markings and legally required measurements which must be in situ by law and more information that will help you decide whether to appeal against your penalty charge notice.

We have even summarised adjudicator's decisions where motorists have won.
