Not fair
 

Well everybody what do you make of this?

I was greated at my car this morning by a big red ticket for the police.

My car was parked in it's usual spot half on the kerb and half on the road outside my house.

I reads the ticket and nearly faints :eek: £1000 fine for not displaying a tax disc :eek:

The tax disc was there had just dropped of the window and was lay face up on the dash :grind:

Loadsa calls to the DVLA and still no joy. Need to get in touch with my local office who don't answer the phone and don't ring me back :afire:

Any thoughts????

I don't know whether there is anything you can do, because all they'll do is argue that you were not displaying your tax disc at the time they checked your car.

But the tax disc was displayed if they looked it was just not stuck to the window :cry:

Thats what they all say.:p I would have thought you can challenge them as you have a Tax Disc and its valid. Isn't there someone you write to to challenge tickets? I have never had one personally but seem to recall someone telling me they wrote to someone.

Yeah, but they'll still probably say it should be affixed to the windscreen.

Thats what they all say :D

I think Martin is right though, there must be some way to appeal against the fine :confused:

But wouldn't I need to get in touch with my local DVLA office to find out where to write to :(

I cant get hold of them so back to square one again :grind:

Think that's just for parking tickets Martin, the law regarding tax discs is it must be on display viewable to a police officer driving by or on foot, not having to look on the dashboard. :(

If it hadn't of fell of in the night it would have been.

Was attached when I parked up last night.

I take it I need to find a bank to rob then :( :( :(

Plead your case to the police and let us know what happens.

Would this me the Bolton police, Manchester police or 999 police?

http://www.merseyside.police.uk/FAQ/m/m.html#mot42 - probably wont help but i cannot find much info about this type of fine in the net. It basically says you refuse to pay the fine and just go to court to appeal against it.

Does it not say anything on the ticket about appealing? You have a tax disc after all.:) I would give the Local Police Station a bell and ask them for advice on what to do. I think the fine is £80 rising to £1,000 if it went to court.:(

Don't ring 999 whatever you do thats for emergencys, don't want waisting police time adding.

And lose a days pay and still probably end up paying it anyway.

Just my luck really :( and I dont fancy having to go into the courthiuse again. Everytime I go there something bad happens :(
