That makes sense, however, does this mean we continue to ignore the 'tickets' or do we respond stating we are the keeper/driver and we will not be paying. Which element of this new law is actually legal - paying or responding or neither?! The BPA statements and media succinctly imply that we have a legal obligation to reply as the keeper..... very, very confused. I received huge numbers of tickets last year as I have to park in a space on a (questionably) private road in order to protect access in and out of my own driveway; thus I was ticketed/photographed every day by neighbours. I ignored all of them and they stopped - but now? It appears that court summons will be used frequently as they can actually point to the keeper for the payment of ticket and I never received a court summons last year - just debt collectors letters and obviously the company themselves - FLASHPARK. The new Act states the keeper is 'invited' to provide driver details. I doubt court claims will increase. In reality the keeper isn't the driver in the minority of cases. All it means is that if a PPC attempts court, the risk of them being ambushed having have sued the wrong person is removed. |

Ans we have our old freind Trevor Whitehouse chiming in:- Trevor Whitehouse of National Clamps, whose clients include Oxford University, said: ‘We charge £80 to unclamp a vehicle, which is a lot less than some operators. But from next week we’ll be putting our penalty tickets up to £100 " Nice of him to acknowledge on the record that it's a penalty. Now there's a lovey example of a well thought out payment for a quantifiable financial loss to the landowner ???? -------------------- The Asda shopping trolley parking ticket enthusiast

This is a good thing that I will always support but nonetheless drivers also need to act responsibly and park only where authorised, with managers of private car parks able to control parking through infrastructure, ticketing, signage and enforcement through local parking agreements with local governments. Towing of unauthorised vehicles will be used as a last resort.

Yeah, you completely misunderstand what this is about in your 9 year resurrection.
Private car parks cannot be enforced through local government control, towing isn't permitted as that's classed the same as immobilisation under POFA. I'm guessing you're a septic. -------------------- There is no such thing as a law abiding motorist, just those who have been scammed and those yet to be scammed!
