Specific grounds of appeal for this contravention

 

1. It is important to note that this contravention code only applies to meter bays and not pay and display bays. If you were parked in a pay and display bay and have been issued with a ticket showing this contravention code then you should appeal and visa versa.

2. Was the ticket issued before the expiry time shown on the meter, if so the practice of issuing Penalty charge notices before the time has expired does happen.  A photograph of the meter is your proof.

3. The Traffic Sign’s and general directs regulations 2002  states that the designated width of a parking bay should be 1.8 metres and the maximum should be 2.7 metres. The length should be at least 4.5 and to a max of 6.6 metres.Please see diagram below.
