       Gemini Car Park/ Whipps Cross Hospital

       Hi
       I went to visit a friend at the hospital this morning, its been
       over a year since i last went to whipps cross. On arrival i
       drove into a car park and saw it had been taken over by Gemini.
       I am a blue badge holder and sign said 'blue badge holders have
       to register at 'Apcoa.co.uk' and scan on the way out.  I
       immediately left and tried another carpark i used to use but
       that too had same gemini signage.
       I was in both car parks for less than 2 mins (cctv will prove
       this) but im worried gemini will still try sending me a fine,
       ive had bad experience if them before in the past.
       Does anyone know if they have a 5min grace period and/or am i
       likely to receiving a fine. If so how do i proceed? usually i
       would contact the landlord who owns the car park but i dont
       think whipps cross will bother responding.

       There is a 5 minute minimum “consideration period” allowing you
       to read the terms and choose not to accept them.
       It’s not a “fine”, it’s an invoice for payment under a contract
       which, in this case, the driver did not enter into.
       For future reference, never use “I” but “the driver”, but in
       this case I don’t expect anything will come of it.

       Rather than us advising on what might happen, let's see what
       does. Come back if you receive a Parking Charge Notice. 2
       minutes is well within any consideration period.

       experience with gemini before and they can be very ruthless and
       petty. hopefully nothing comes of it
