Original Poster Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I just got a parking ticket on my motorbike... for not displaying the correct permit!?!? ITS A MOTORBIKE I cannot attach the residential permit to a motorbike! it will get stolen and there is no way to secure it! surely this must be a massive load of BS ??? also on the parking ticket they left the tax disc part blank... surely that means they incorrectly filled this out :3 ?? any suggestions ?

Xoligy Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 As james has said try and appeal it, if you feel that the form has not been correctly filled in. Not being a biker i can not answer this myself but i would of thought that they made motorbike permits these days too, i suggest you look into that.

xTdub Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Well, your options are: 1) Don't park in a permit parking only area 2) Attach the permit to your motorbike (I bet you can figure it out) Having a motorbike is no excuse for illegally parking. As for the ticket itself, I have no idea if leaving that part blank helps you in any way, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekyscott Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I too ride a motorcycle and this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Appeal it. Probably the ticketer was needing his 'hits' up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteWhite Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Why not attach the parking permit in the same way that your tax disc is attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Poster Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Why not attach the parking permit in the same way that your tax disc is attached? I did think about that but then it would obscure the tax disc which is massivly illegal xD cause i wouldnt be displaying a valid tax disc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooky560 Veteran Posted October 19, 2012 Veteran Share Posted October 19, 2012 here in the UK I'm pretty sure you can't give a motorbike parking ticket, as there's where to attach the ticket to. Appeal it, or if its not a council ticket, just throw it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan~ Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I'd give your local council a call and say "I suspect this is just a prank as it's incorrectly filled out" etc etc and see what they say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appeal it, or if its not a council ticket, just throw it away. Exactly, if its not a council or police issued ticket. it means nothing throw it, dont pay it. Look on money saving expert for advice, they are not fines, they are request for payment and are not legally enforceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intersect Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 OP you got a ticket for not displaying your permit. as for the ticket not having your tax disk info id take that up with the council who issued the ticket. if you are worried about some one stealing your permit then you are allowed to use a photo copy and display that. when they do a check on the database they will see your permit is valid.
