Supermarket car parks may impose £100 fines after hours
Motorists using supermarket car parks may face fines of up to £100 for parking outside store opening hours. This applies even if the car park is empty, as many are monitored by private enforcement firms. Supermarkets have different parking rules, often enforced by Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras. Drivers are advised to check signage carefully to avoid penalties, as restrictions vary by location. Major supermarket chains confirm that parking regulations differ by store and are clearly displayed. Customers should be aware of these rules to prevent unexpected charges.
