Paying Someone Else's Parking Fine

My friend was borrowing my car when he received a parking fine which he's happy to pay. I tried to 'Nominate the responsible' driver on MyPenalty website but it would just give me an error message (Error - The provided fine information is invalid. Please check the penalty notice and try again.).

Since there are no demerit points, does it make any difference if I just pay the fine without nominating the responsible driver?

    As long as it's paid there's no impact to you or your record.

    Yep no need to nominate another driver if no demerits.

  • Thanks for prompt replies!

  • Nothing is truly erased. There will be record of parking violations on a database somewhere.

    • True. That's how they caught the Son of Sam.

      • They caught Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma bomber, because he was stopped driving a car minus its licence plates and Al Capone on tax fraud.

        If you are going to do big crimes you might want to avoid the little ones.

        • Or just accrue all your parking fines in a friend's car.
