Hi everyone, newbie here needs some advice,

 

i received fixed penalty from the police for being parked on dyl,

 

i stay in a village actually its two villages that are joined, muirhead and birkhill,

 

on the fixed penalty it says my car was seen in edward pl, birkhill,

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

Could I ask please if you did park on a DYL as alleged?

 

The forum guys should be along later to advise.

 

My best, HB

FPN's are different to council PCN's.

 

Firstly there is no appeal mechanism as such, if you plead not guilty, the case will then be heard in a magistrates court.wheres fines, costs and victim support fee will be much greater than the fixed penalty.

 

Secondly there is the 'slip' rule whereby minor mistakes can be corrected, unlike council pcn's where things like wrong location cannot be corrected.

 

Suggest you pay.

As above is a five min grace law before issuing fpn in scotland, thanks,

Double yellow line: Double yellow lines are no parking at any time unless you have a blue badge. Sometimes you may be able to stop to load or unload but no more than that. If there are two stripes on the curb at regular intervals then you have no rights to unload or load at this point, and blue badges don't work. The same is also true if the lines are red.

police said vechicle parked from 12.40 to 12.45 but i have them on cctv ariving at 12.40 and placing fpn on car at 12 .43 so never waited five mins and lied on the fpn as they had written it out before the time stated.

England at least (not sure if it applies in Scotland) did recently introduce a 10 minute grace period, but only in places where parking is allowed at some times - ie if you're in a 30minute maximum stay bay you won't be penalised for being a couple of minutes late back to your car. It's not a licence to park where you damn well like and block the traffic because "I'm only going to be a few minutes".

 

DYLs mean no parking at any time, unless one of the exceptions applies (eg loading, alighting, blue badges), so the grace period doesn't apply to them. So if your defence is going to be "I was parked there for over 3 minutes and there's CCTV to prove it" I can see it not getting very far.

if you had been there for more time before the police arrived..then end of the issue

they don't have to wait.
