Overview
Your vehicle extended beyond the marked lines of a parking bay.
From the warden's perspective
Warden's note
CEOs photograph this from a specific angle. If the bay markings are worn or unclear, challenge on signage grounds. Also check whether the bay was actually big enough for a standard vehicle — some older bays predate modern car sizes.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- Bay markings faded or unclear
- Bay too small for standard vehicle
- Photo taken at misleading angle
- Wheel just touching the line (not over it)
Your rights
Request the CEO's photographs. If markings are worn, this is a valid challenge. The vehicle must be clearly and unambiguously beyond the bay.
