Local councils in the UK have been given control over parking enforcement since the 1990s, leading to a sharp increase in parking tickets issued. Many people appeal tickets, and around 50% of appeals are successful as local councils often do not attend appeal hearings. The document provides advice on effective strategies for appealing parking tickets, such as providing photographic evidence that signs were incorrectly displayed or identifying typographical errors. It also notes that private parking tickets from commercial car parks are not legally binding.

1. Who Should Appeal Parking
Tickets?

2. Since the days of legalisation in 1990’s the parking
control were given to the local councils from the
police who has led to a sharp increase in the
amount of parking ticket issued to motorists. This
in turn has lead to a high increment in parking
ticket appeal from the common people.

3. Some people argue that the reason behind
taking these parking tickets since
decriminalisation is because local authorities
show many interests in collection of revenues
through these parking fines. This theory of
collecting revenues by false charges of wrong
parking is increasing day by day to correlate
with year on year increase of parking ticket
issue.

4. There are many reasons why we now want to
appeal a parking fine. Parking fines have shot
up in recent times with some motorists paying
up to 120 pounds for their parking tickets.
It is always a good idea to contest a parking
ticket if you genuinely feel hard done by or
think the parking fine was unfairly issued to
you. Around 50% of motorists who decide to
appeal their parking ticket win their appeal.
Half the time Local Councils do not even bother
to turn up at these parking appeals.

5. The fact is that if nobody is charged with
parking tickets then there would be less chaos
on the roads and then the local councils will
have smaller budgets or they will be compelled
to raise council taxes as there would be little or
null revenues from parking fines.

6. This the basic theory behind compelling people
to take parking tickets and imposing huge
parking fines for without even breaking the
law. In real world these public figures are more
and more put forth under the pressure of
collecting revenues through issue of tickets and
collection of fines from motorists.

7. Any motorist thinking of parking in a public car
park or on a public road please make sure you
have read any nearby signs or road markings. If
you are unsure that you are legally parked then
just do not park there it's really not worth the
risk of getting a huge parking fine or having to
appeal a parking ticket.

8. Appealing and getting a parking ticket in your
hand is very easy procedure and majority
people after claiming get it very rapidly. But
still this is a very common fact that 99% pay
traffic fine even after getting parking tickets.
One simply needs to write a letter and pass it
to the local council who grants the appeal in all
cases. Or one can also let these things through
email in a much easier way.

9. The question right now is whether you believe it
would be simpler to pay up in the range of a
few hundred pounds, or whether it would be
easier to just write the letter. It's your
choice, but it's so much easier to write the
letter. In fact, what we need right now is a
website that will guide us through this process!

10. Now comes making the parking appeal more
attractive and henceforth a successful one to
provide you with the clue which may aid in
your procedure for proving that the parking
ticket issued is legally invalid. Instances like one
can provide photographic proves or may be
some pre-recorded mediums which depicts
that the area where he parked did not have any
signs displayed in there correctly. In this way
with near two thirds of parking tickets being
distributed illegally there stands a big chance
for you!

11. It is possible to win your appeal using a
technicality if you can produce one. One of the
best technicalities you are bound to find is the
existence of a typo or misspelling. For instance
if you find that the event supposedly took
place on a street name similar to the one it
actually occurred on, you can claim the
incident never transpired.

12. A relatively new phenomenon is private
parking tickets. You get a ticket in a similar
fashion to what a traffic warden gives you. The
ticket looks very similar to normal parking
tickets. It will say something like "Parking
Charge Notice pay within 14 days for a reduced
rate. Non payment will result in us contacting
the D.V.L.A. for your details."

13. Because they are not issued by the city, they
are far from a legally binding contract. You
could pay them of course, but you should
know that they will often send threatening
mail in an attempt to make you pay. Do not
give in, and understand that they are only
threatening you because they cannot actually
take you to court.

14. There are not many companies that have gone
to court over an issue such as this, and it is
mostly because they will not receive all that
they are asking. In fact their court costs would
be much higher than the ticket itself after the
ruling.
http://www.cancelmyticket.co.uk/

15. That being said, try to avoid paying tickets of
this nature regardless of the threats you
receive. If you are harassed for too long, try
telling the company that you will bring them to
court if they continue. If they don't stop, then
don't be afraid to take them to court.
Whatever you do, don't pay them just to get
them off your back.
