Parksy has launched a free Parking Fine Appeal Calculator that reads your parking ticket, checks it for valid grounds to appeal, and drafts a tailored appeal letter in minutes – across the UK, Australia, the US and more.
How it works: drivers upload a photo of their ticket or Penalty Charge Notice. The AI reads the key details – reference number, vehicle, date, location, contravention and amount – then asks a few short questions about signage, payment machines and circumstances. It identifies the strongest legitimate grounds and writes a formal letter addressed to the correct authority.
It is jurisdiction-aware: it tells a council or TfL PCN apart from a private operator’s charge and routes appeals accordingly (formal representations and the Traffic Penalty Tribunal / London Tribunals, or POPLA / IAS for private charges). It drafts internal-review requests for Australian infringements, contest letters for US citations, and adapts to many other countries.
It is free, needs no sign-up to start, and stores nothing – the photo is read once and never saved.

Quote – Daniel Battaglia, founder of Parksy:
“Most people just pay the fine because fighting it feels like more hassle than it’s worth. We’ve put a lawyer-style appeal in everyone’s pocket – snap the ticket, and in minutes you’ve got a proper letter built only on grounds that genuinely apply to you. It costs nothing, so there’s no reason not to check.”
