Yes she was, jeez.Was your mother with you when you were using your mother’s Badge? If not take the hit as it is a criminal offence for you or anyone else to misuse the badge. Doing so could lead to £1000 fine and confiscation of badge.
I’ve just received a parking ticket from Parkingeye. I parked in South Shields hospital which I’ve never been to and used what I thought was a disabled bay using my mothers badge. It turns out it was A+E drop off. A couple of friends are saying don’t pay because they can’t enforce it. Should I just pay up and accept I was wrong?
Always have and always will park in the cottect bays . The station was a genuine mistske.Why not just park where you’re supposed to and save all the hassle?
I'll agree with you these Parking Eye and similar companies are scumbags and employ awful practices.Always have and always will park in the cottect bays . The station was a genuine mistske.
Sometimes i have overstayed, failed to obtain the free 30 min ticket, returned within the hour to return goods, had no loose change, etc etc
However, in each and every case I have never parked in disabled or parent / toddler spaces, never blocked entrances for delivery, emergency vehicles etc and therefore it couldnt be shown that have I cost that facilty or business. Parking eye etc etc are just bullying scum
They need a proven case for loss of money to that business to have success in court
Ignore your mates. Parking eye always prosecute. Take photos of the parking bays/sinage to make sure designation of spaces is clear and unambiguous . Contact PALS and ask them to liaise with the Trusts own car parking manager. If they are sympathetic they can have influence on the company. If you are in the wrong and can’t offer any decent mitigation suck it up. You will loseI’ve just received a parking ticket from Parkingeye.

Yeah thanks for that. I am clearly in the wrong, but was a genuine mistake whilst stressed. I just wondered whether they always prosecuted. But yeah, I’ll suck it up and pay.

With it being in a town and hospital I’m not familiar with I just cannot remember. So I guess the best option is to like you just pay up and avoid the stress. Cheers.If it was marked as A & E drop off and you parked there its a fine. When under stress you will make some mistakes, because you are human. Whats critical to me me is what the space cleraly marked A & E or did it just have diagonal yellow lines.
I once got a fine in London for going into a bus lane @ 9.30pm on a Sunday night. I thought all bus lanes were 7am to 7pm then, for 50 metres this road was 24 hours bus lane and 99% of its length 7 to 7. Only local drivers would know this and someone with hawk eye and night vision. 100's had been done by Hounslow Council. The Council had permision to put in the little length because of temporary roadworks on the A4 - 1/2 a mile away. Those roadworks had ben finished. It ws clearly a money collection activity. It was £60, if I appealed it would be £120 plus costs and more time and stress. I resented paying the £60, but I thought it was over with by paying it and it was.
Why? I really don't understand this when the blue badge scheme is a national scheme. I honest think this is purely a money making racket.You' need to register the blue badge at reception at South Shields hospital
Pretty standard practice at hospitals.Why? I really don't understand this when the blue badge scheme is a national scheme. I honest think this is purely a money making racket.
The government should be telling parking companies what they can do, and if they don't, stop their access to the DVLA's database. In addition I also believe car registration details are the same as council tax registration details and you should be allowed to opt out of your personal details being sold by a government agency to a 3rd party.

Speculating but probably due to the huge amount of abuse that comes with blue badges being used by those who they aren't registered toWhy? I really don't understand this when the blue badge scheme is a national scheme. I honest think this is purely a money making racket.

Nothing like that. I’m not f*cking stupid. It wasn’t in front of the building it was in a car park.This area?
(With someone else seemingly parked where they shouldn’t be)
