47% of Parking Ticket Appeals are Successful

New research has been released showing that last year a massive 47% of appeals against on-street parking tickets were successful last year.

Interestingly only 1% of drivers actually appealed, so the evidence appears to suggest that more people should be doing so.

Edmund King, president of the AA, said:

“While we welcome the fact that almost half of the drivers who appealed against unfair parking tickets won their cases, we must question why so many of these drivers were given tickets in the first place.”

If you think that you shouldn’t have been given a parking ticket then don’t hesitate to appeal. Take photos if possible and send them in to your local authority. Most advice recommends that you send a letter but twice I’ve sent emails to the local authority and they’ve rescinded the parking ticket.
