Unauthorised Parking is a general term which means you contravened the terms and conditions of a car park with ANPR cameras, and could mean any of number of parking contraventions occurred:

  • Parking for longer than the maximum permitted period in a car park
  • Underpaying for a parking session
  • Paying for the wrong vehicle registration number
