  1. Hello all, I'm new to the site. Read through this particular thread last night, having got back from a great night of bowling only to find a white note under my windscreen wiper. Turns out I'd parked in a disabled space and should be expecting a fine. Now, on arriving to the car park and looking for a space I stopped at one and I asked out aloud if the space was disabled as it was close to the front door of the nearby cinema. The two other people in the car both said that it didn't look like it was. So we parked. Fast forward to coming out and we've now seen the note. I pull the car back and there is a faded disabled logo on paviers underneath where the car was but it's in shadow (as it was when I parked) and doesn't show like the car park spacing lines throughout the rest of the car park. So I've taken photos. Get back in the car and read the note again and the person who wrote it has got the number plate right but the make of the car wrong. Now I was perfectly fine with paying a fine to start with, it was an honest mistake but I was in the wrong and wouldn't dream of parking in a disabled place for any reason. But two questions: i. Is it worth contesting the fine as I couldn't see that it was a disabled space? Especially as I have photos that demonstrate this. ii. Would it make any bearing that the make of the car was wrong on the notice? What makes it worse still is that the car was a courtesy one from my dealer, not my own. So the fine notice will go to them.
