A Cover Note - acts as a temporary policy and also as a temporary
certificate of insurance for the purposes of the Road Traffic Act.
The Policy Document - sets out in full the terms and conditions of
your policy. You should read your policy carefully - there is no small

Parking
Parking tickets are usually issued by a parking attendant at the scene.
They may, however, be sent to the owner of the vehicle by post, for
example if the contravention was observed using a CCTV camera. Do
not ignore parking tickets. They may carry extra penalties if not
paid (or contested) promptly. In order to qualify for a discount,
payment must be received by the council within 14 days. A payment
slip accompanies the ticket - if you wish to pay the ticket but have
lost the payment slip contact the council.
