Default Parking ticket

Anybody managed to get out of paying it?
Didn't realise that parking in 1 hour waiting bay (Mon - Sat ) included bank holidays!

Thing is, you've just paid for a couple of hours of the little hitlers time.

I have got out of a parking ticket - in Reading we use scratch cards for guest parking.

Scratched one off, sent it in ;o)

You didn't read the rules, and parked for longer than allowed.

Pay the damn thing.

If you park like a klutz, expect to get fined.

If it's a fair ticket then I would pay it, if you want to try and get out of it then try http://www.parkingticket.co.uk

LOL Sam got out of paying 5 parking tickets.

Went to court represented herself and won!!

Suddenly a couple of weeks after the case a plethora of new parking signs and double yellows appeared in the place where she parked!!

I know a parking expert I will try to find out his e-mail address for you. He is very good and provides free advice and has featured in autoexpress a few times.
