Got this slapped on the windscreen today.

Blurred out the obvious information not to give anyone away, BUT, I have a few questions over the legallity.

Here's the ticket for everyones perusal...

Now, here are my queries...

1. Is the stated Traffic Management Act 2004 Part 6 up to date?

2. The alledged "contravention" is stating the car "parked with payment made to extend the stay beyond initial period".
i/ If you cannot park "twice" why would there be an initial period?
ii/ Why does the ticket not state the information of the ticket that was IN USE at the time with activated the "contravention"?
iii/ If no actual ticket was running on the car, surely the "contravention" is that of having no ticket?

3. When your parking ticketicon "expires", as does your contract to park there with the council, so to "extend the stay" there would need to be no gap between a first ticket and a second? A gap between would NOT show an extension, but a RENEWAL.

4. What signage is classed as "adequate"?. Between the car and the ticket machine, not ONE sign regarding the council RULES was shown. Non were forthcoming or out-standing on the machine either.

5. The ticket's for the car have mis-aligned printing and NO INFORMATION on them regarding the parking laws native to the city.

6. The HULL CITY COUNCIL website states 2 hour parking being charged at £2.15. The ACTUAL amount charged by the machine was £2.60 which contradicts the website (2005).

What do you folks think of this, leg lifting exercise?
