Parked in a disabled person's bay without a valid Blue Badge.
Northern Ireland uses code 40 for this contravention.
The code appears on a Penalty Charge Notice so that the particular parking or bus-lane contravention being alleged can be identified.
The standard Northern Ireland PCN charge is £90.
A 50% discount reduces this to £45 when payment is made within the first 14 days.
If the case progresses to a Charge Certificate, the amount increases to £135.
Check that the registration, location, date, time and contravention code shown on the notice match the circumstances.
If you believe the PCN was issued incorrectly, Northern Ireland has an official challenge and representation process.
Code 40 applies where a vehicle is parked in a designated disabled parking place without clearly displaying a valid Blue Badge. Most of these bays operate 24 hours a day, although some signed bays have different operating times or maximum stays.
