Its always been like that in the motherland

It's way overdue, let's hope it works but I have a feeling the types that operate these despicable companies will already be planning alternative ways to intimidate the cr*p out of people.

No more scrunching up the letters and filing them in the bin

You'll still get them, but now you really dont need to pay any attention to them

[Ekona]

Nope, you need to pay far more attention to them. It's now the Registered Keeper who is ultimately liable for the fines if they can't/won't name the driver, much like the S172 forms for speeding. Up until now it used to be that only the driver was liable for the parking charge, but the law is changing so that the companies can go directly after the RK.

Which is crappy as your workplace will instantly pay them without even asking you, as mine did, to which I refused to pay... And now I have a shiny disciplinary note on my file and still had to pay. If I'd taken it as far as court I'd have won, as confirmed by two lawyers I spoke to, however as you can imagine I'd have just had to quit my job after that.

 

Welcome to the world of genuine ignorance and stupidity. From now on, any time I need to rest on a motorway I'm booking into a hotel on company expense.
