| | Anyone ever get a ticket for parking outside the white lines in a private (at work-Her Majestys Royal Mail) carpark. The carpark parking is controlled by UKPC in Iver. Our carpark is full this time of year (a lot of agency staff). There is no outside parking near the depot. The rather small unlit signage states "Parking must be in a designated bay (this is the bit I don't understand) outwise you may get a ticket" Does it have to state what is a designated bay is? Can it be between two kerbs or does it have to be inside 2 rows of white lines? Ppl park 3 cars in a corner when there's no where else, not blocking any access, turning point or road but it's got no dbl yellows, crossed hatch or road markings just a disused part of the carpark. Yet UKPC ticket each one. There will be 3 more ticketed when I go to work at 21.00 (probably agency staff). I just don't think it's right without explaining what a designated parking bay is. Is it a grey area or am I being predamtious and annoyed with the bosses. A ticket is £75 if paid early yet a lot of staff might be lucky to earn this after tax for the day.

| | Similar thing happened to others tonight at Sutton arena at 20:03. After my son finished football training we came out to the car park in the grounds to find parking wardens issuing tickets to cars in the car park which is in the arena grounds! A couple of the cars where parked in disabled bays without displaying valid badges (fair one) but another 4 where parked in coach only bays as all the other bays where full. Noticed some new small signs stating that new parking regs are in force but at 20:00 at night! |

Reasonable question. It didn't make it into the two volume, folio sized, OED.
Great word though. Let's try to get it into the next edition. Just need to get it into print or have it broadcast three times.
A common use/meaning would be a benefit.

| if the company is private they can't do **** against you... there are posts on different forums how to get out of this situation, on the other hand if the company was hired by the local council then it is harder.
None the less their advice is to simply ignore them, when they send you a letter you simply state that the driver was someone else and this doesn't concern you. Since they are a private company and they have no rights they cannot ask you for the other rider's details, they don't have the same powers as the police, so they cannot use the "prevent the course of justice". Simply put there is nothing they can do... even if you park in a private car park, a pub, shopping center... whatever they can't do **** about it, the only thing they can do is to clamp the vehicle and even then you can just take it off lol
Have look here for better advice:

| Private clamping companies can pursue via a civil action. They are hired by the land holder. Often they get a lot of bad press and often for good reason due to some sharp practices. They are now regulated by the SIA but not sure if this is working to improve things
Personally I would be cautious about ignoring this ticket as you may find 6 months down the line a bailiff at your door.
Also removing a wheel clamp / chain is criminal damage so removing one - even if it's 'unjust' and put on by a private company could get the police involved and let's face it the firm are well used to people doing it and know how to play the game to their advantage.
