Petition Ban Fines for Parking Ticket Mistakes

Honest people who have purchased valid parking tickets are being fined because of genuine mistakes - such as accidentally mistyping number plates in car parks that use number plate recognition.

The British Parking Association know this - but their appeal system but offers no help.

More details

This petition has nothing to do with fines for overstaying or not purchasing a ticket - this is for genuine mistakes.

Typically people have a single character wrong on their ticket - and still appeals side with the car park owners.

To anyone else - it would be clear that the driver had made a genuine mistake, and paid the correct amount for the time allocated.

This money making on genuine mistakes should be stopped.
