subject: What Is A Parking Appeals Service? [print this page] Have you ever felt more distressed than when you have walked up to your car and found a parking ticket on the wind shield? You have scorned and cajoled over it and then finally you have paid the fine. You are amongst the 99% motorists who do so. The reset 1% however go for parking appeals, what 100% people should do.
You can say why one should go for appealing but statistics show that two out of every three appeal goes in favor of the appellant. If the first appeal is rejected, you should go for a second or even a third because odds are on your side.
Councils do not just turn down appeals because they are right more often than not; it is because of a lack of understanding of the ins and outs of parking regulations or an attempt to make your drop your appeal.
Apparently thanks to government legislation, Council incompetence and inexperience from traffic wardens you may have an almost 100% chance of success on any parking ticket received.
How can you cancel almost 100% of parking tickets? There are various ways to do this. You can write a polite letter asking for the parking ticket to be cancelled on compassionate grounds. You never know Council employees are humans after all. Next way is to argue that the contravention did not occur. You may even find a loophole in the law to do with parking signs or road markings.
Many people never think to appeal because they think that parking tickets can never be cancelled out. Some are confused. But, in reality there are no confusions as there are a number of websites who are there to provide all the information regarding parking appeal. These sites will advice you how to go about and also help on your appeal.
70% of the parking tickets issued are illegal. Sounds shocking but these are the facts.
Lots of Local Councils know that a large proportion of parking tickets issued are legally invalid and refuse to do something about it as it costs money to do things like re paint parking signs to the right size, height, colour etc. Even if it did not cost money to correct these things there would still be reluctance as Local Councils are losing potential future revenue from the motorist.
If you are appealing against the Council, do not have a second thought on it because it is the Council who is cheating on you by issuing illegal parking tickets. All these must be brought on public scanner and then only it will stop. Introductions of gadgets like CCTV will also help a lot to bring parity.
Remember by starting a parking appeals stand you will not lose your discount on the initial fine and all you need is to write one simple letter. So what have you got to lose? Go on give it a try, the more motorists that do the more the Local Councils will start to listen to us the motorist.
