Legislate total amount payable for parking/minor traffic penalties cap at £100 — 12 signatures. Status: open.
We call on the Government to introduce legislation capping the total amount payable for parking and minor traffic penalties at £100, including enforcement and additional charges. In our view, a small parking or traffic penalty should not be allowed to escalate into financial hardship.
Car parks both private and local authority governed, issue PCNs and pursue payments of huge amounts that can grow out of proportion to the original amount. In our view, no fine should balloon out of reason. Private parking charges can become costly, particularly where courts are involved. Local authority penalties can also increase significantly through the enforcement process, which can for example put a person's property at risk.
