tomyqss   10 #1 Posted July 14, 2016 I was donating blood yesterday, paid for an hour an half parking an it usually takes an hour to compete...  any-who, i wasn't very well after my donation so had to wait a while longer to recover before i could leave, about 30 min or so....  as i got back to the car they was a warden an he had just ticketed the car! i was about 15/20 min late  my fault for being late but i know, but would it be worth appealing?

hagrid   10 #4 Posted July 14, 2016 Send in a letter stating what you were doing and provide proof of the time and date you were giving blood. Worth a letter, if you don't ask you won't get.  Probably trying to get Blood out of Stone, give it a go anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Chelle-82 Â Â 10 #5 Posted July 14, 2016 Yes i second sending them a letter.. You may as well give it a try, won't do any harm to try good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

vwkittie   10 #7 Posted July 14, 2016 I'd say it's worth a shot. I got a ticket a while back as my parking permit had blown down off my dash as I got out the car, without me realising.  They were actually very reasonable and once I'd provided a copy of the permit and explained what happened, they cancelled the ticket (with a 'be more careful in future' warning!) even though it was my fault really as I should have checked the permit was displayed properly.

Owethemnowt   10 #9 Posted July 14, 2016 It's not worth the effort.  They don't do mitigation, circumstances and won't accept act of god unless he's there as a material witness.  Basically, they apply the law and we all know what to expect when lawyers open their mouths.  You'd end up giving more than blood.

euroout23 Â Â 10 #10 Posted July 14, 2016 might be worth it, a few years ago i was visiting my daughter in the Children's Hospital and was ten mins late for the ticket, i appealed on the grounds that she was upset with me leaving ! maybe tugged some heart strings somewhere but got let off! maybe they are a little more "waffen SS " nowadays, still worth a go?

Submit the letter with your challenge.  Bear in mind that there are timescales you have to appeal within.
