UK drivers got 1.6 million parking fines in 2024, mostly for double yellow lines, with top fines from London councils.
UK drivers received 1.6 million penalty charge notices for parking on yellow lines in 2024, with most issued for double yellow line violations, according to AA research using Freedom of Information data.
Over half a million fines came from just 10 councils, including five in London.
Fines vary by region, typically £70 outside London but up to £130, with discounts for early payment.
Common reasons for violations include loading goods, quick stops, Blue Badge use, and lack of parking space.
A survey of 15,000 AA members found most drivers would park legally if more options were available, and older drivers were more likely to break the rules.
The AA and local officials are urging better infrastructure, clearer signage, and a review of fine levels, unchanged since 2008.
The Department for Transport said enforcement should promote safety and compliance, not revenue, and is reviewing current penalty levels.
