Circumspice.

Haven't you, or anyone you know, ever received a ticket where the
warden has misrepresented the time, location, etc.?

It's always worth having a close scrutiny of the PCN as the slightest
error is a valid (legal) defence.

Some colours are not official colours as understood by the DVLC I think
at least one of yellow, orange or brown does not officially exist. If the
PCN mentions the colour of the van and it's not the same as the V5, then
bingo, you win.

The wardens are getting very very sharp and thorough they take the view "if
in doubt issue a ticket". I got one where my scratching had gone slightly
over the wrong day but I was able to escape the penalty on the grounds of
the visitors' permit being reasonably correct.

The most annoying one I got was where I has purchased a parking meter
voucher, the notice on the opposite side of the road said "Parking meter
bay". There was a parking meter on my side of the road ,very nearby, for
the bays it was by, the but the bay I was in was a "residents' permit only".
Which meant on that job I was working for LB Camden.
