hi people i got a parking fine (PCN) the other day and i was wondering the minimum time a parking attendent can give you before issueing a pcn? this one just drove up to my car jumped out of hers and slaped it on mine i didnt see where she come from and on the ticket its got 1 minute.......if someone knows could you please let me kown thanks people

Sounds like someone got one and just slapped it on your car. On a serious note, it depends on the area and if it's a short or long stay car park.

LOL!! to me it sounds like your about to pay someone elses parking fine.

I don't understand how you can get someone else to pay your parking fine?

Sounds to me like you have nothing to worry about, there's certain procedures that have to be followed when issuing a ticket, registration I should imagine will be one fo them. Also, it comes down to evidence, who issued the ticket? At what time? What For? Where's the evidence?

Although I must tell you now, I don't have a car, and I don't really know alot about these tickets!

Well simple question - were you on a double yellow line?

If so, then 0 minutes is an acceptable time!

Remember mobile wardens (vehicle based) have routes equivalent to the parking zone times and if your car is still there (usually photograhic recording is used) on a second visit, you're done.

Grrr cant get away from work anywhere!

Edit - cant help but note the irony of your username dude!

nice 1 spinner problem was i loading my car with a big object (tunble dryer) if the lady would have produced this ticket standing next to my car then i would have explained or moved my car. the ticket was done in her car down the road then drove up and put it on my car is that right? can they do that?

I would class that as out of line. If you were actively doing something they should have helped you!

The whole point is to keep traffic moving and what they did would only have delayed you.

If you get the chance i would also point out that to apply th ticket, the warden had to park there too (despite what they may think, they're not allowed to)

thanks spinner i sent a letter today explaining what happend and also that the traffic warden had to park on the same lines as me..............people wonder why these people are not liked its no wonder.........well thanks to all who give me there time and advice as soon as i find out whats happening you all will be the first to know SO STAY TUNED

THANKS ALL PICKLE

hi people as promised

once again a big thanks to all who have had give there time to read this ang give me there advice

Not many people realise that Spinner is much more than just an admin...he's a super-warden-busting-double-yellow-shrugging-money-saving-freedom-fighter.

We forget that at our peril
