Another new money making parking scam is being used by the Motorway services companies. Using cameras and number plate recognition systems to issues fines if two hours are exceeded.
I always thought the "Maximum 2 Hours" was only used to prevent business users etc leaving vehicles parked there for an excessive time. I recently found out otherwise when I took a nap on the M40 services at Oxford and received a £60 fine through the post. Besides being another way of fleecing motorists I think this practice is down right dangerous since it discourages taking proper rest breaks on a long journey. |

At least you didn't get clamped, the lowest charge i've seen for that is £80 from wheel clamping company National Clamps. What was the company who fined you? I've not heard much about number plate recognition systems...
