Are you one of the many UK motorists that believe they have been the victim of an unfair motoring charge? If you are currently nodding your head, then don't despair, try using one of these genuine explanations given to one London borough council in the hope, albeit slim, that you may be able to overturn your motoring conviction.
However, you can't blame them for trying as fines for illegal parking in the City of London reach an incredible 120 per ticket. Furthermore, if you do have a valid pay and display ticket, remember to remove your previous day's ticket, as they will also fine you for that!
One of the more inventive motorists, trying to avoid a fine for driving in a bus lane came up with a UFO for his failure to pay his fine. The driver was so captivated by what he described as a UFO he inadvertently drove into the bus lane and was subsequently fined.
Do you find it difficult to distinguish colour? If you do, then I wouldn't try using it as a reason to avoid a motoring fine unless you can provide some evidence. As another wronged motorist stated that they were unable to distinguish colour, and the yellow line they were parked upon was actually green at the time. Needless to say, the fine was eventually paid in full.
A council spokesperson has said that the imagination of some motorists was "quite impressive". What's the weather like outside today? Well if it's currently raining you may believe you can park anywhere you fancy right? Well according to this motorist, bad weather is a given for a free for all: "It was raining. I thought I could park anywhere if the weather was bad."
Director of environment and housing at Southwark Council, Gill Davies said: "The imagination of some of these drivers is quite impressive, but UFOs and colour blindness unfortunately do not count as legitimate reasons to overturn a ticket."
The reasons continue, another sleepy motorist had the perfect excuse for non payment "I was only sleeping in the back of the car."The parking attendant could have asked me to move the car instead of giving me a ticket, although he would not have seen me as I had a blanket over my head."
Some motorists who park illegally in central London could receive written or verbal warnings instead of a 120 fine, Westminster City Council has said.
