• Parking Fines - is there a cumulative maximum ?

    From billy bookcase@21:1/5 to All on Wed Apr 23 13:29:18 2025
    I've just renewed my Residential Parking Permit for the
    year. It would have run out on the 25th; only I cut it
    fine, as I wanted it on next month's CC bill.

    This got me thinking. If instead I somehow ended up in
    hospital and there was nobody else to pay it, would I have
    been charged the statutory amount ( for the sake of argument
    �90) every single day ?

    So that if I was kept in hospital for 10 months, I would come
    out facing a bill for �27,000.

    Or is there a maximum amount that applies for parking a car in
    the one place and never moving it, in situations where
    towing away etc. doesn't apply ?

    I'm fairly certain Windows XP won't be any help in this situation.
