Fined for exceeding time limit, no time limit on sign
DIR By: sherbs

---------------------------------------------------------
Hello, I read through how to post, so sorry if i do it wrong.
Yesterday I got a ticket for exceeding the parking time limit at
tesco. I was parked in a disabled bay, and my blue badge was on
display. I checked the signs previously, as I was worried it
would be longer than I intended, and there was no time limit on
the signs.so i knew id be ok.
Yesterday I went out, took some pics, there is still no time
limit on the signs.
Yesterday I lodged an appeal, i sent them the pics, and
explained the above.
they refused my appeal, saying the time limit is clearly stated
on all signs, and i breached the rules.
i called cab, who told me i can contact popla and launch an
appeal. im so stressed and upset, as i didnt do anything wrong.
i dont want to send them my disabled badge front and back, as
its none of their business, and its about a time limit. if it
comes to it and it makes the ticket go away i will, but its the
principle. they are telling me the photo i sent states a time
limit, when it doesnt.
im gonna go later today and see if there are any signs on the
way in that state a time limit. even if there are, surely the
signs by the disabled bay should say that?
thankyou in advance for any help. theres so much other stress
going on, and this was the final straw, ya know?
hopefully i can add attachements, thankyou

It's a shame you didn't come here before lodging your appeal,
Horizon can be easily beat as long as you don't reveal who was
driving, but that ship may have sailed...
A couple of questions to help us help you:
- What exactly did you send in your appeal?
- Which Tesco store is it?
Aside from the above, another good step is to speak to the
manager of the Tesco store explaining the issue, taking along a
copy of your receipt from the shopping done on that day
(presumably quite a large shop if the vehicle was in the
customer car park for 4 and a half hours?).

hi, ty for the reply.
yeah, i honestly didnt think last night as i was so upset. i
stupidly thought sending a pic of the sign with no time limit
would make them go, oops, youre right, you win the appeal.
i dont recall verbatim what i said, but i said i checked the
sign by the space, there was nothing about time limit, i
displayed my badge the whole time, and heres proof the sign
doesnt mention time. i sent them two pics of the sign. the ones
i posted here.
theres a photo of me in the space sat behind the driving wheel
which they used as evidence, so they can see there was no one
else, so i dont think i can say it wasnt me.
i looked for the receipt last night, i didnt think id find it,
and couldnt, as annoyingly last week i finally cleaned my bag
out, and chucked a mountain of receipts. idk if itd be on my
clubcard?
i wasnt in tesco the entire time. id parked in one of the
furthest spaces, even tho there were bags of spaces, as i didnt
want anyone who was just nipping in to have to walk too far.
they could just say i should've moved, which i wouldve done had
i known there were a time limit.
the tesco is in england.
turns out there's a sign on the way in, that mentions the time
limits, but none of the signs by the bays where i parked do.
thankyou

The initial sign you posted asks you to comply with the
conditions on that sign.
It doesn't mention a time limit. It also doesn't seem to ask you
to refer to other signs for additional conditions.

hi,
no it doesnt have either of those things. i checked both sides
of the sign too just incase. thats why i thought the appeal
would work, but nope. :-[

There is little they will accept. Ultimately it is down a judge.
The sign states "of the above terms and conditions".
It's reasonable you couldn't digest the sign on the way in. It
is reasonable in my view not to search it out given the nearby
sign.
Whether a judge would agree it is compelling is a different
question.
The fact you were offsite part of the time won't help in terms
of trying Tesco to cancel, but there wasn't a specific condition
requiring you to stay on site. The entry on your card statement
of bank statement will help evidence your patronage.
Do you have a popla code. That is another possible route.
Otherwise it's wait for court.
Don't rush to send anything to anybody without posting it for
comment.
