The new rules making car parks fairer for UK drivers
Most operators belong to one of two trade associations: the British Parking Association , which represents around 120 firms, and the International Parking Community , which represents about 90. In order to identify vehicle keepers, their members are permitted to purchase vehicle keeper records from the DVLA at a cost of £2.50 per application. Any operator that flouts the new code will be banned from accessing this information.
The IAS cancels around a quarter of the tickets that are appealed. “Many of them are cancelled due to mitigating circumstances,” says Hurley. “For this reason, I urge motorists who feel they have been wrongly ticketed to appeal and engage with us.” Both organisations applaud the new rules granting motorists five minutes to read a car park’s terms and conditions before their parking period commences and 10 minutes at the end to allow for their late return. They also support the elimination of fines for motorists who incorrectly enter their car’s registration and for disabled people who forget to display their Blue Badge.
The current £100 fines cap will remain in circumstances such as abusing Blue Badge bays or if a motorist is trespassing on private land. Motorists will be offered a 50% discount if they pay within 14 days.
