About ParkingTicketExpert.com and Barrie Segal
ParkingTicketExpert.com is an independent educational website built around Barrie Segal's long-running work on parking enforcement and motorists' appeals.
Barrie Segal
Barrie Segal is a Chartered Accountant, author, public speaker and founder of AppealNow.com. Over many years he became widely associated with parking-ticket research, consumer commentary and practical appeal guidance.
His parking work included examining large numbers of penalty notices and adjudicator cases, writing books on parking enforcement, contributing to television, radio and newspaper coverage and representing the motorist in the High Court proceedings commonly known as Moses v Barnet.
Why another parking website?
Older parking websites often accumulated thousands of pages and references to legislation that later changed. ParkingTicketExpert.com is intended to be simpler: distinguish the ticket type, explain the current appeal route and direct motorists to authoritative primary sources.
Editorial principles
- Distinguish statutory PCNs from private parking charges.
- Use current official sources for deadlines and procedures.
- Do not present old case arguments as universally applicable today.
- Encourage evidence-led appeals rather than copied templates.
- Identify uncertainty and changing regulation where relevant.
- Make clear that the site provides information, not personalised legal advice.
