    Parking Ticket

    So this morning I got a Penalty Charge Notice from Ealing Council for parking in a residents permit only space. The permits are only required Monday to Friday 9 to 5. After visiting for the weekend I left at 9.15 Monday morning.

    So does anyone know any technicalities that has got them out of a parking ticket?

    What time were you ticketed? If you were ticked between 9am and 9.15 this morning surely the parking attendant had every right to ticket you?

    9.05. So yes they did. But I have still heard of stories where people exploit loopholes and appeal the fine.

    Not a way out of your ticket, but.... It seems strange that it is residents only between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday when many residents would be at work? Why would residents have to display an id tag, when you expect the road to be clear of parking?

    If you are not permitted to park after 9am, and you got ticketed after 9am, when you are not permitted to be there.........

    Doh!

    Isn't this akin to folk that moan about 'stealth' speed cameras? IF YOU STICK TO THE LIMIT, A CAMERA DISGUISED AS LORD LUCAN WONT EVEN CATCH YOU OUT!

    Double Doh!

    Probably to rid the residents of the commuter scourge. Perhaps the estate is near a station?
