Parking

Parked in a designated disabled person’s parking space without clearly displaying a valid disability badge. Only blue badge holders may park in a disabled parking space. (Contravention Code 40)

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. Disabled bays must have a sign adjoining the bay stating that the bay is for “disabled badge holders only”. Some bays operate “at any time” and others operate at specific times which must be clearly stated on the roadside signage. However the words “At any time” are not an approved phrase for the sign listed below. So unless special permission has been obtained from the department of transport then any bays with the sign below with the words “at any time” added may be unenforceable. For details of the signs and specific bay marking required please see details and diagrams below.

Below we show diagrams of the signs and bay markings which must be in situ by law and much more information that will help you decide whether to appeal against your penalty charge notice. It may be that you were confused where you parked. However knowingly parking in a disabled bay is not something that we would condone.

We have even summarised adjudicator's decisions where motorists have won. As this site took over a year to develop and cost a small fortune and in order to support our constant campaigning against this usually unfair assault on the motorist we ask for a small contribution to view the rest of this page and the entire site. For details of what we do for the motorist see the section on the home page. Many thanks.
