• BMW 3 Series Touring - Parking sensors on the blink 8 Sep 2011 (Forum)
  Hi, When I engage reverse my parking sensors start beeping indicating that I am close to hitting an object, this happens even when it is clear. this is an inconsistent problem as 1 in 3 times it works fine. My local BMW dealer has ran it through their diagnostics however everything indicates it is working normally. the next step they have suggested is to remove the bumper and take a look.

• Two tickets?...go to prison 28 Jan 2010 (Forum)
  Heard on the BBC breakfast this morning if you display more than one parking ticket you can be fined...refuse to pay the fine and you could face prison! apparently some commercial drivers leave loads of the things on the dash and the poor traffic wardens have to seek the right one out.
• Car Friendly/Unfriendly towns 19 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  Why is London at the bottom? The congestion charge has eased traffic in town a bit, so is great. It's expensive to park, but fine if you can afford it - and fine if you're driving through. There aren't many no-go areas although some one way systems are a bit irritating. Cambridge on the other hand you cannot even drive into.
• Nonpayment of fines-Prison or bailiffs? 23 May 2005 (Forum)
  Please will one of our legal BR members, or anyone else who knows, please tell me what decides whether non-payers of fines, parking tickets, congestion charge, speeding fines etc are sent to prison or have the bailiffs set upon them? Viv a vis the 159 mph police driver (Thread elsewhere) the D Tgraph today gave a list of what had happened to other speeders.
• APCOA Parking Ticket 4 May 2012 (Forum)
  A lot has been said on this forum about simply ignoring correspondance, however this was a 'proper' ticket issued to the car, not posted, and issued by a proper little man in a hi-viz (bless him) rather than a shady CCTV operation. I imagine Apcoa and their delightful 'World of Parking' (!!) to be rather good at collecting their fines? Any widsom much appreciated, Ta.

• Parking Ticket 12 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  I recently received a parking ticket for an offence that I believe I did not commit. My vehicle was parked in a residents parking bay where non-residents are granted a 2 hour parking window with a further no return within 2 hour restriction (hope that makes sense).

• DVLA - Fine unlicensed car on road 13 Aug 2014 (Forum)
  My son's car was declared SORN and parked off road by our rented garage which is situated about 20 minutes away from us.  It had a note of a number and name displayed in windscreen if anyone needed to contact us.  There were no problems until last month when out of the blue he got a letter saying it had been taken to the pound as it was found on the highway, followed by a fine from the DVLA (a payup or go to court letter).
