Car parks use unclear terms such as āgraceā and āconsiderationā periods, with times ranging from 5 to 20 minutes. These inconsistencies can create confusion and lead to unfair parking charges. Introducing a universal, mandatory 15-minute grace period to replace all varied systems would improve transparency, provide clarity for motorists, prevent accidental fines, and ensure fair, consistent treatment.
