parking ticket in Southwark
« on: »
I got a parking tick in Southwark on a weekday around 6:15pm.
Is it worth appealing?

On what grounds do you think it could be challenged? You'll have to say why you parked there at least.

In winter whenever it gets dark, you feel that it is evening and parking on a single yellow is fine, but it was not this time:(

So you never looked for the sign giving the yellow line restrictions, then ?

There are two exemptions to the restricted times, (1) loading/unloading, (but not shopping), and (2) boarding/alighting passengers.

If that timeplate is there as per the shot I took off Google Maps below then you are bang to rights except that I've looked at the council's pics and there is no pic of the timeplate which is odd.

Thank you for looking into this. So in the above comment what is your understanding? I did not understand "bang to rights...."

Bang to rights means you have no chance unless that timeplate isn't there but it was in July lat year as you can just see:

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

You can try asking for discretion of course as it was close to the end of the restricted time of 18:30.

There is a time stamp on the pictures. I take it they calibrate the cameras they use and that they can prove that time is correct?

Hello

All of you have been very helpful.
After reading few initial messages, I felt no hope and I paid it last night ( £65)
However, looking back, perhaps I should have waited a bit and asked for some compassion based on the fact it was only
just 15 mins before the time I was allowed to park there for free. But hey ho, it is done. Do feel bad about it that I should have
taken this chance but whatever happened, happened.

Thankyou all

There are "known knowns" which we may never have wished to know. This applies to them. But in the field the idea that there are also "unknown unknowns" doesn't apply as they hide in the aleatoric lottery. I know this is true and need to be prepared knowing the "unknown unknowns" may well apply.
