Overview

Your disc showed you had exceeded the permitted parking time in a disc zone.

From the warden's perspective

Warden's note

The disc itself is the evidence. If the disc was correctly set and you were within time, photograph it immediately. If the CEO misread the disc, that is grounds to challenge.

Common mistakes

Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.

  • CEO misread the disc time
  • Disc moved by vibration
  • Time period misunderstood

Your rights

If the disc was correctly set, provide a photo. If the CEO's record of the disc time differs from your disc, challenge.
