Just deciding whether to appeal against a parking ticket and risk it going up from £50 to £100 by not paying now.

It was for parking in a residents zone (where I used to live). I used one of my old visitor vouchers and admittedly it wasn't clearly displayed - hence the ticket. However, I sent it off to the local authority and they said that apart from it not being visible that it was no longer valid.

This is where I believe I may be able to get away with it. Despite the scratch panels only giving a choice of 1999, 2000 and 2001, I wrote 2007 and all the other parts of the date corresponded. How can they say it was no longer valid - surely it would need an expiry date?

Worth appealing or pay up???

Just don't pay it. Your word against a traffic warden. Not proof is it. Just deny, deny, deny ...

So you've already given the poeple issuing the ticket proof that the voucher wasn't valid?

Odds on

I'd have to say that your chances of getting off for using a ticket thats 6 years out of date are, well, slim to non existant.
