In a significant update, motorists using private car parks in the UK will not face penalties for delayed payments, as long as transactions are completed prior to exiting. This decision comes from joint action by the British Parking Association (BPA) and the International Parking Community (IPC), addressing past incidents where drivers were unfairly ticketed due to technical and communication issues. The new code of conduct, effective from Monday, safeguards users by particularly focusing on car parks that employ fixed cameras to monitor entry and exit times.

The British Parking Association (BPA) and the International Parking Community (IPC) confirmed an update to their code of conduct, effective from Monday.
The change comes after incidents... where a woman faced legal action over a 1,906 parking fine after poor mobile phone signal meant she repeatedly took more than five minutes to pay.
This specifically applies to car parks using fixed cameras to monitor entry and exit times.
