received a parking ticket at the weekend.
on a scooter rally in Whitby, sunday morning and parked on an open cark park no one about, not noticing the "Scarborough Borough Council Sign". Needless to say the Bar Stewards put tickets on our group of scooters.
Examined my ticket all the details are correct, ie type, reg, colour but they have put down the Tax expirey as June 08 when it is in fact Oct 08. The ticket was also posted on the rear backrest and not the front of the machine.
Is this grounds for appeal. The way I see it by acknowledging the mistake I am admitting to having the ticket. If I ignore it then the fine doubles if it is enforced.
There were literally thousands of scooters there and I know lots of Italian imports registered with DVLA have very very similar numbers allocated so could argue it wasn't me?
any suggestions and could this error work in my favour?
your thoughts would be appreciated
