I was parked outside a shop on the Ormeau Road and noticed one of those privateer f**kers in the red jackets writing out a ticket so I ran out aplogised and jumped in the car and away before he could finish the ticket.    Will I get one in the post??

They're not all bad. Got one yesterday saying Parking Fine and was delighted at the compliment.

What's the chances of the Council in Kells, Co Meath chasing a NI registered car owner for a 40 yo yo parking fine? Just wondering like ::)

Good chance you will, was talkin to someone this happened to recently, he appealed it and eventually it was thrown out.
last week i bought a ticket in a pay and display car park and later on that day reused it another car park as the date and time were still valid. I got back to find a fine on the windscreen, traffic warden was still there, apparently you need a seperate ticket for every car park. Appealed it but i wont be holding my breath!

the wife was in newry yesterday and parked in the Merchant Quay Retail Park (free parking).

when she came back to the car there was a parking ticket for £60 from these cnuts:

http://www.ukparkingcontrol.com/

it said on the ticket she was fined because she left the site. i.e. because she didnt go shopping in the park

is this enforcable? should it just be ignored?

should fine folks, if their parking is bad

They could never enforce it. I'm sure if she thinks about it she will remember leaving the car park to go to a bank machine and returning to Merchants Quay to do some shopping. Unfortunately they did not have your favourite brand of wine/aftershave/socks so she did not buy anything.

Basically you have no chance of appealing a parking fine successfully unless you have a cast iron reason or excuse for having parked illegally in the first place, normally being elderly, disabled and confused, in my experience, and im none of the three! Just about got an elderly relative off a rap recently.He got a parking ticket for parking in disablef bay outside his  own door.Had his blue badge on dashboard but not opened as he hurried back indoors to look after his infirm spouse.He got the ticket and the appeal was grudgingly and eventually accepted but it was touch and go.

some tesco are set up with free car parking if u shopping in it, i normally pop in, buy something, then go shopping up the town

I got one in Armagh about 18 months ago. Really annoyed me as the time restriction was 1 hour parking in any two hour period. So I had parked for a while drove to Craigavon over lunch then drove back and parked in same spot. Came out to find Warden putting ticket on my car. I complained that I had left and returned and wasn't in violation of the restriction. Warden wasn't having any of it and said he had recorded the positions of the valves on my wheels and they were in the same place. He then opened his book to show me that when he recorded them 90 minutes previous they were the same. The idiot though also showed me that he had only recorded the positions of about three cars and they all had tickets on them. So what he was obviously doing was filling in both valve positions when he was issuing the tickets but pretending he had recorded them at an earlier time.

Anyway I appealed and they rejected it and it was only when I threatened to take them to court did they let up. The worst thing is the warden is still about Armagh.
