As we approach the bank holiday, you may be planning a road trip or a day out to make the most of the extra day off work. However, car leasing comparison site Moneyshake issue a parking warning this bank holiday, which could land you with a fine.
Some people might assume restrictions on parking don't apply on a bank holiday, however, this is not the case. If the signs state that the parking restrictions apply Monday to Saturday, for example, these will still be in place if it’s a bank holiday unless signs specifically exclude this.
This is the same for both single and double yellow lines. If caught, the local council can issue you a Penalty Charge Notice which can cost the motorist anywhere between £50 and £80.
Eben Lovatt, CEO of the car leasing comparison site Moneyshake said: "Rules may vary from place to place so if you are going anywhere on a bank holiday, check the council’s website before you go. It’s safer to treat the bank holiday as a normal day unless signs are telling you the rules are different.”
