ANPR
Automatic Number Plate Recognition—cameras record entry/exit times to infer a parking duration.
Why it matters
ANPR PCNs are usually sent by post. The delivery timing can affect whether keeper liability under POFA applies.
Common mistakes
- Treating ANPR timestamps as exact ‘parking period’ without considering time to find a bay/read terms/exit.
- Ignoring the 14-day delivery rule for keeper liability on postal NTKs.
Details
- ANPR records movements, not necessarily the precise period parked.
- Short overstays can fall within reasonable grace periods (reading terms, queueing, exit).
