Hi all,
Appreciate any constructive/informed opinions on a fun situation which occurred today.
Was visiting my folks in Worthing and we broked down just past the roundabout for Waitrose. We managed to push the car into the Lidl car park and only stayed there for 45 mins or so whilst we worked out our options. In addition I bought something in the store and have the receipt.
The query concerns where we parked, initially we pushed the car up to the motorcycle bay (there were no spaces and that short rise up to the car park induced jelly legs). We weren't blocking the car park or anyone parked there. 10 mins later we pushed into a spare bay.
I just wonder if we can expect a ticket for not being parked in a bay? Now the bonnet was up and our hazards on, even so I am familiar with how private car parks work. We didn't exceed the time limit but, well, I'm still unsure. Upon a quick check the only camera we could see was one at the entrance, presumably doing the checking on cars arriving/leaving in respect of the time limit (an hour). We may not even be picked up.
In any case has anyone experienced similar? I don't see how we can get a PCN for exceeding the time limit as we didn't, just in the context of where we parked.
anyway - cheers for reading this.
