Default Suing for frivolous parking ticket

I've never found one that would roll-over the balance (35 mins) like
that. But most will stamp the ticket "9.00 am", rather than "17.30".


Milton Keynes won't, which is bloody irritating as it means you can't
go out for the evening, decide to have a drink and take a taxi home,
and therefore go and put a couple of quid in the pay and display
machine to cover your car until a sensible hour of the morning
(charges operate from 0700 to 1800). You instead need to go out and
move to one of the out-of-the-way free spaces once you have made said
decision.


A real problem. I once stayed in a hotel in the historic centre of
Chester, so no on-site car parking. But because of the lack of roll-over
I was supposed to go down to the municipal car park at 7am to legalise
the morning session!
