Sorry "Govan" .......

I guess they could ban you. I'm not sure about the legal basis here. I'd imagine that they might just clamp your car this time. Brian

Not sure they are allowed to do that in Scotland.

they're not allowed to do it in England either

"They" are not allowed to do it in E&W either these days if it is a private car park. But they can and do pursue people who don't cough. Even in Scotland. As one woman found to her very considerable cost earlier this year when ordered to pay £24,500.

I was thinking that the parking people might be saving their tickets up until there are enough of them to be worth pursuing through the courts. A nice little nest egg for them when they get round tuit. :)

They certainly aren't in England any more.

But they can recover the money in the courts and I believe there was a test case which found in favour of the 'parking' companies not too long ago.

She is now bankrupt

The M50 Toll does that. Anyone in the UK in a private car on the M50 in Ireland can have one freebie. After that they bill One in two's.

I wonder how many people spend a few seconds with a black felt marker or a roll of insulating tape before they park up.

Never hear of any prosecutions, but it must be easy to edit things like L, O P etc.

well they gave up after a while with my previous three .......

she was a stupid wummin and deserved it ......

I was thinking of doing something like that it is private land after all and you don't need to display your number plate........
