More than 19,600 parking fines a day were handed out by local authorities in the UK in 2022, new figures reveal.
Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) are issued when motorists break regulations, such as by parking on double yellow lines or on a single yellow line at a prohibited time – costing up to £130 in London or £70 outside the capital. The penalty is usually halved if a driver pays within 14 days.
