Handily most of us have a camera on our phones, so this shouldn&#8217;t be a problem. Take photos of any signs that are unclear. Take photos of unclear road markings. If there are no signs visible from where you parked, take a long shot photo that emphasises the lack of signs. Make sure some of your photos include your car parked in the disputed area.<\/p>\n<p>If there are any witnesses to back up your claim, take a statement from them and take their details. This can be especially useful if circumstances have changed. For example if a No Parking sign was so dirty it was not readable, but is subsequently cleaned, having someone else able to back up your story that it was dirty can help your case.<\/p>\n<p>If on reflection you don&#8217;t think you have a case for appeal, then pay your fine as soon as possible.
