Parked without valid payment in a pay-and-display car park.
Northern Ireland uses code 83 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 83 applies where a vehicle is parked in a pay-and-display car park without a valid ticket or cashless parking event. Blue Badge holders are subject to the same payment requirements as other drivers in off-street car parks.
