The Flame Pit / Re: Any advice on how to appeal FOI request re Tfl parking tickets?

Quite simply if they ticket every commercial vehicle evry day the drivers would simply refuse to work in London. Shops would run out of stock etc..

You can simply ignore providing you're not planning on visiting France for a while. Meanwhile can you change the number plates, something that the Germans and Belgians do frequently.

It seems the Swiss have a slightly better sense of humour than the German polizei!

Keep on with the suggested challenge, it costs you very little.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Council car park, Ashford Kent Blue Badge

Seems like I've been captured then despite the car make being incorrect. Possibly worth an initial appeal, at least make them some work for their money. :)

Possibly, it takes people with disabilities a bit longer to get round places than expected. But then the Blue Badge and clock were clearly displayed. The contravention code is wrong. Had there been an intention to stay longer than the permitted time of 3 hours then a ticket would have been bought. Ashford apparently has scheme for BB residents for an annual permit to park for longer than 3 hours. It may be worth the investement when the BB is renewed later this year.

I did have a look online earlier on, but not had time to post on here as work got in the way.

The RK will try to get pics of the T&Cs tomorrow. It's a council-run car park. Parking in a disabled bay with the badge holder in the car, it's sensible to display the BB and clock in the windscreen as proscribed.

I read this morning of the time limit of 3 hours on DYL and SYL, no mention of time limit in a council car park. Quite why the CEO should want to differ, who knows? He can't tell the difference between a Merc and a Range Rover.

Non-motoring legal advice / Re: Small claim struck out
« on: April 12, 2025, 09:06:12 pm »
The whole legal system is broken, I've had tussles with very rude and intimidating CC judges over the last 20 years. They messed my partner around with a substantial claim about 8 years ago, cancelling at the last minute, next session was som 4 months later at a court in town M, then moved t a day-s notice to town R, then we were delayed on the way to town R, phoned the court to advise of delays, only to be told the cae was at a court in town D starting in ten minutes. we were still 30 miles away at the time. My partner won her claim but never, ever, received any paperwork for the case which still remains only part-paid.

All I can suggest is to get the striking out order overturned if that is possibly. did you claim through MCOL? they are usually quite helpful.

The Flame Pit / Re: Plugged tire: How long it normally last
« on: April 12, 2025, 08:17:06 pm »
It is recommended that tyres older than 10 years are not used on the front wheels. On buses and lorries it is now illegal to use such tyres on the front steered wheels. If the DVSA find one, it's an immediate prohibition, and an annual test failure.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Council car park, Ashford Kent Blue Badge
« on: April 12, 2025, 08:12:23 pm »
My car was issue with a PCN this afternoon for parking contravention code 83. A valid disabled Blue Badge was correctly displayed in the windscreen and had been parked in a marked disabled bayfor about 3 hours.

The PCN shows the VRN as DV60xxx, make Mercedes, colour: silver.

DV60xxx is actually a Range Rover TDV8, and is grey.

P&D ticket no: blank,, expiry time blank.

I'll try to copy the PCN later or tomorrow morning, it's been a hectic few days for me.

The only notice at the entrance to the car park refers users to a sign at the P&D machine, some distance away from the disabled bay. Access to that sign was difficult so neither the driver or disabled badge holder were able to read the sign due to poor access.

Does the fact that the car make and colour are wrong give rise to "no offence committed"?

I wouldn't be worried but it may show up when entering the Schengen area.
I doubt very much if parking tickets would appear internationally.

There's been a case in the Courts of Justice in London today, not sure if it's related to this case as it's a similarly badly-presented youtube video on the anti-ULEZ FB group, but a scaffolder has won his case is now having his day in the court. Something to do with 2002 and 2016 laws, it's all a bit shouty in the video. No doubt the court will need time to consider the cse, so I don't expect to hear any results today.

Is the hire company based in the UK or abroad? See notes above. Your details have been illegally obtained. Collection action usually means sending endless threatening letters until you pay up, which many unfortunately do.
