parking ticket advice pls
 

Today I got a ticket in Headington Oxford, the thing is I wasn't in the road so I can't have been parked in a restricted zone in the street, can I?
Anyone tried arguing the toss over this and got anywhere?
Thanks Catherine
(I know from now on I'll get some velcro)

Pay it, saves a lot of heartache in the long term, you can very rarely win and will pay more in Vodka and tonics to fight it...lolol

Thanks guys, anyone know if they apply to bikes anyway?

Were you on the pavement?

Put your car back where it was and take a photo!

I got one a couple of weeks ago and came out as the guys where leaving.

I was working at a place I have worked many times before and had a notice in the window. I was about 10 minutes. They couldnt give a toss and said they are told to ignore the notice. I've paid the fine and enclosed a copy of the notice so hoping for a let-off which I have had before. What do us working guys do if we need tools / equipment all the time ???? They also taken photos of the car in situ and one of my notice.

But it's a bike! Yes it was on the pavement by the bike rack! (and another motorbike)...

I got a ticket about three months back witht the wrong street printed on it. I was definitely in the wrong (in a permit holders only bay) but emailed them (according to the dispute procedure on the back) to say this - fully expecting to have to pay up once they put it through the system.

About a month later they wrote back to me saying they had cancelled the ticket. It sounds like it is worth disputing.

Its probably illegal to park on the pavement. I got a ticket for that years ago.
