What is a penalty charge notice?
Perth and Kinross Council operates a decriminalised parking enforcement system, meaning the local authority manages most violations.
It has the power to issue rule-breakers with penalty charge notices (PCNs).
A PCN usually costs £100, though can be cheaper if paid early, and drivers will normally have 28 days to pay up.
Motorists can challenge a PCN through the local authority and, if that fails, through the Parking and Bus Lane Tribunal for Scotland.
If they still refuse to pay, the local authority can take drivers to court.
