A new report has uncovered that motorists are increasingly using mental health conditions to dodge parking and traffic fines
Motorists are using mental health conditions as grounds to appeal against parking and traffic fines in London. It has been revealed that drivers are arguing their mental health issues should exempt them from receiving parking penalties, reports Birmingham Live.
The Tribunal and Adjudicators stated: "There is very limited scope to argue that a diagnosed mental health condition should lead to the cancellation of a penalty. Adjudicators think that authorities need to address these claims in the Notices of Rejection." The report concluded: "It is not the Adjudicators' role to determine whether a person is medically fit to hold a driving licence."
