At the residential car park where I live. There is two disabled bays. One clearly not marked visibly well. I parked on that. Got a a ticket.  Challenged it saying it's not marked properly. Win. This happened twice.

Car park was full. I parked in one of the unmarked boxes. Got a ticket saying some code 26 violation about parking on a dual carriage way and parking in an unmarked bay. Challenged again. Saying it's a residential car park not a carriage way and I am clearly not obstructing any passage for other cars and no signs showing the rules they were exercising. 

Win

 

Swear if you challenge most tickets these counts will write if off.  Most people can't be bothered.

 

Someone on here mentioned this before.

 

 

 

 

Got a ticket by a private car ting not council 

would i i be right in sayin they can't really do me anything? That it's the council I should always worry about?

Iam pretty sure I've read something similar here before....

Yea ignore the barrage of threatening letters.

They can only take you small claims court and Legally they have to prove you were the driver. They send the letters to the registered keeper but dont actually know who is the driver unless you admit its you

what were Your offences for this fine and these points?

If i remember correctly they were all SP30 ( over 30MPH)

The piss take as well is it should secretly be 9 points but because it was my first 3 points (think i did 35mph) , the first time around they said fuck the points go to a course. 

2 days later I get another letter from the same camera talking about £100 fine and 3 pts, that started off the whole shit.

Why are you not avoiding this by slowing down?

New cameras?

Yeah they put these cameras up down where i was working previously. Literally got caught 1 week then the following.

I'm definitely more aware now though. Can't afford more points or to be banned / higher insurance.

A politics graduate has been jailed for three months after she attempted to avoid a speeding fine by paying £450 for someone else to take the three points.  
Ayesha Ahmed, 27, of Dudley, West Midlands, was caught speeding at 39mph and 40mph in a 30mph zone in her BMW twice within five minutes by a mobile camera van parked near her home in July 2014. 
But rather than pay for an £85 speed awareness course, a £100 fine and accepting three points on her licence, the international relations and politics graduate paid £450 to a man she did not know who claimed he could exploit a 'legal loophole' which would enable her to escape punishment.
Notices of Intended Prosecution (NIPs) sent to Ahmed were then returned to enforcement officers claiming that a woman from Walsall was behind the wheel of the BMW at the time the offences were committed.
But officers became suspicious when inquiries revealed that speeding offences by eight different drivers had been attributed to a woman living at the same Walsall address, leading to Ahmed's arrest.
During her police interview Ahmed admitted she had tried to avoid receiving the penalty points but insisted she thought the £450 was being paid to a specialist speeding fine lawyer.
She then claimed she was the victim of a scam by a fake lawyer and protested her innocence.
But the court heard Ahmed had lied and was told by prosecutors that she was not the victim of a scam by a fake lawyer as she claimed because she knew what she was doing was illegal.

The court heard she passed on her paper work to the third party to fill out on her behalf - which is an offence in itself - because she wanted to avoid the points and the fine.  
Police said today that claiming she was an innocent victim scammed by a fake lawyer was an excuse she made up in the hope of getting off.
Ahmed was jailed for three months on Monday after a jury at Wolverhampton Crown Court unanimously found her guilty of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
She was also banned from driving for 58 weeks.

PC Steve Jevons, of the West Midlands Camera Enforcement Unit, said: 'Ahmed has paid a heavy price for thinking she could lie her way out of speeding offences.
'The jury concluded she was deliberately trying to avoid justice and not, as she claimed, victim of a scam by a bogus lawyer.
'She never met this "legal expert", didn't have an address or phone number for him, and paid the money via a third party.
'Ahmed was given every opportunity to admit her guilt - an admission that would have spared her a jail term - and even the judge asked if she wanted to proceed to trial in the face of damning evidence.
'It's a sorry tale. She has no previous convictions but a potentially promising career is now in ruins and all because she wanted to retain a clean licence.'
Warning other motorists to steer clear of anyone offering to provide false details to the police, PC Jevons added: 'Don't be conned by anyone saying they know a person who, for a fee, can 'make speeding fines go away'.
'These people try passing blame on to 'phantom' drivers, knowing the authorities won't be able to trace them and assuming the matter will be dropped.'
Ahmed was clocked driving at 39 and 40mph in the St Peter’s Road 30 zone just after midday on 30 July 2014
