Gonna get a ticket

[Worryingwhy]

I turned left from a mini roundabout straight into a restricted anpr covered private road. I realised and reversed back out. I'm almost certain a ticket is coming as its monitored by a private dodgy firm. I'm very tempted to have them take me to court. Will it affect my credit rating etc if I ignore their penalties? I've got good credit and don't really want to wreck it. Genuine mistake though. Also do I admit I was driving or not?

YABU

or maybe YANBU

who knows

OK AIBU for ignoring the penalty when it comes?

I feel like a judge would throw this out

These parking firms are leeches

Obviously you admit you were driving, why wouldn't you??

Yup, ignore the penalty letter, and pretend you weren't driving. Both are absolutely genius ideas, no-one's ever tried them and not got away with it.

I didn't know that private firms could fine you for driving a short distance on a private road. If the firm is dodgy then absolutely fight it in court. But don't ignore the letter if there is one, that will not help you.

I really don't think you will get a ticket. It was clearly a mistake
