Parked in a disabled bay without a valid Blue Badge.
Northern Ireland uses code 87 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 87 applies where a vehicle uses an off-street disabled parking space without displaying a valid Blue Badge. Where the car park is chargeable, Blue Badge holders must still pay the appropriate parking charge.
