Depends on which rule you're breaking.
Parked with a valid pay and display ticket and it runs out? 10 minutes set in stone in England, anything between 5 and 15 minutes in Scotland depending on the council. Aberdeen are the most lenient, Glasgow, Edinburgh and East Dunbartonshire are the strictest.
Never had a valid pay and display ticket to begin with? 2 minutes to have a quick look around and check there's nobody using the ticket machine or walking towards it, then an instant PCN.
Parked on double yellow lines? 3 or 4 minutes to check you're not loading goods in our out of the car.
Parked in areas with loading restrictions? Instant PCN.
Parked in front of a dropped kerb? Instant PCN. |
