Disabled Bay Signage
« on: »
I parked my work van in this disabled space by accident as it wasn't very clearly marked. Does a disabled parking space need to have any markings on the road? I reversed into the spot & didn't see the small sign on the post but if there had been a wheelchair marking on the road I would have seen it and wouldn't have parked there. Ticket issued by Council & NSL

We need to see the PCN. Please post up scans or photos of both sides. Since this is an on street there is no need to redact anything. All as per the Read This First sticky post at the top of the forum

The correct bay marking on the road would be the word Disabled, not a wheelchair picture. The sign appears to be obscured by the tree.
Bus driving since 1973. My advice, if you have a PSV licence, destroy it when you get to 65 or you'll be forever in demand.

Unfortunately I don't have the original PCN.

Ask the council for the PCN.
IF YOU RECEIVE A MOVING TRAFFIC PCN PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE MAKING A REPRESENTATION:

How do we get more people to fight their PCNs?

If you do not even make a challenge, you will surely join "The Mugged Club".

This is an off-street car park so there needs to be a tariff board listing the terms and conditions of parking, which there isn't according to the CEO's photos. That being the case this should have been an easy win, but unfortunately @davehurd has paid therefore throwing his money away for nothing (no you cannot claim it back).

Dave, for future reference you should always make an informal representation as the council will always reoffer the discount as long as a challenge is made during the initial 14 days, and doing so buys you several weeks more time to get proper advice.
