i think the way these boxs work is that you park all the way to one side (in the box) and leave 3-4 feet on the other side. the next car does the same so now there is a 3-4 foot on both sides of your car . so you have full axcess all around.
this works all the way down the row of cars.
if you let people park where ever they wanted in the space then no body would have space.
if the car next to you parks properly (by the theory anyway) and you come in and park in the midle or which ever way suits your car or situation. then they cant get in or out properly.
you are 100% wrong the way you parked but its not your fault.
the council (or whos in charge) should have it marked properly and have signs showing how to do it properly.
i would fight it on the grounds that the markings were bad and no explination of the system was there.
i dont like this system. its open to issues like this.
i would rather if you had a box for your car (marked in one colour ) and a dotted line all around out a few feet , like those ghost islands or walk ways in factories.
that way it is obvious where you park and where you walk.

This is what I wrote & sent yesterday. Will let you know the outcome....................
Dear Sir/Madam,
I received the above PCN yesterday afternoon. I parked
my car equidistant from the two adjacent cars to mine. I
could fully open all doors of my car and there was a
good clearance with several inches to spare on both
sides. I was able to lift out my disabled Daughter from
the rear nearside of my vehicle. I reversed into the
space, and I guess this is why I missed lining up the car
to the actual white lines. I would no way park illegally or
irresponsibly within a disabled parking bay. I was just so
pleased when I saw that the space had become
available as I was driving away from the parking area. I
was very distressed when I found that a PCN had been
issued. These bays are very wide and gave me a false
sense that I had parked legally. I must also say that the
markings on the ground defining the bay are a little
faded and confusing. I am very sorry if I had caused
inconsideration to other disabled people and hope that
this offence can count as a warning to me.

How do I know you didn't move your car then take the photo - because it looks ok to me.
Just asking:smilewinkgrin:

Go on the peppipoo forum, they have experts on there that will tell you how to fight it and win.
John, the photo was from the warden. Modern technology means that when you log onto the council parking website and input your car reg and PCN number you get all the photo's taken by the warden (about 6 photos!!)

Now I understand - you see I've never had a parking ticket!!!
And as for Modern technology are you suggesting I'am out of touch with the real world:smilewinkgrin: possibly correct.
John, I was surprised myself about the modern technology. Less than 24hrs after the offence was committed the pictures are on the web. John, I know you are a man of the world, and would never suggest you are out of touch with it :smilewinkgrin:
Got let off with a 'It's is your responsibility to adhere to the parking regulations' etc. Phew!
