Free Traffic Legal Advice

The devil will be in the detail - if 20mph limits have saved (for example) 30 lives in built up areas and Larry Leadfoot has smashed into a bus at 135mph on the motorway killing 30 people, the overall numbers will be the same and the 20mph zone can save lives.

Not if Larry Leadfoot was travelling at 135mph because he was tired, angry, frustrated and now late for a very important meeting after having to crawl at 20mph along numerous Welsh roads. 

I found out today that the HMRC no longer reimburse you a cheque for paying tax. ... My friend went through this company, as directed by HMRC, ... Surely this is wrong on so many levels.

The only thing wrong is the story your friend gave you; they were NOT directed to Fairsfair by HMRC - I suspect they googled tax rebate and landed on a site that may have looked like the official HMRC site but actually wasn't...

As Fairsfair themselves state in their T&Cs: 'You understand and agree that you could pursue a claim for a tax refund from HMRC independently for free, without the use of our Services'

ask Costco to cancel it, this is always the best first course of action.

As suggested I've now contacted Costco who have advised "We have forwarded your email to the relevant management team and you will be contacted directly with an update as soon as possible".

The PCN was opened after the 14 day "discounted charge" period but it's still within the 28 day appeal time limit so presumably advice would be to submit an appeal now to extend the deadline?

Upon entering the car park, the driver found a space, parked up and entered the Costco customer service area. Costco is a members only store and as this was the first time visiting the driver had to queue for over half an hour before being able to complete the membership process to receive membership cards and finally be able to enter the store proper.

The Costco store is huge and as this was the driver's first time they spent several hours exploring every aisle before finally buying £450 worth of goods. There were further delays leaving the store as all trolleys are manually checked against receipts. Upon transferring the large number of purchases to the car and returning the trolley to the store, no other store was visited and the driver left the car park, allegedly exceeding the 3hr parking limit as the claimed duration was 3hr 26min.

At some point in the last few weeks the registered keeper (a different person to the driver) received a PCN through the post but they missed it initially and only opened the letter yesterday and showed it to the driver.

Can this be challenged? Do Premier Park follow the requirements of the Protection of Freedoms Act to be able to transfer liability?
