Used an 'NHS only bay' in a council car park, got a PCN, but signs are too high up to read?

With the greatest respect gentlemen I think its time to agree to disagree ...this thread is gong round in circles.

I never admitted "I didnt bother to look".

 

Not in your appeal maybe, but you have in this thread:

 

It was raining heavily when I parked so I wasnt about to turn my head up at the sky to read ANY signs even if I saw them.

 

 

When its pelting it down, the last thing you'd do is to look up.

You just want to run to the ticket machine and out of the rain as quick as you can.

 

 

. Regardless of all that... why dont you question their decision to rotate the sign? Isnt that the most glaring fact here? Shouldnt they be refunding me the penalty which they now was enforced under false conditions?

It's neither here nor there what I think, it's not me you have to convince, it's the Council. Good luck with that.

 

I cannot imagine they are ever going to refund you., but hey it's the internet and only my opinion.

 

I'd just put it down to experience and next time get a bit wetter and save yourself £130 and a lot of grief.

To be honest Michael, I think you are spending too much effort on this. It's a waste of time trying to get this guy to see sense. Let him fight his futile fight if he wants to - we've all told him what we think, the council's told him, the adjudicator's told him. What's the point? He's right and the rest of the world is wrong.
