Vehicle breakdowns
What to do if your vehicle breaks down.
It's your responsibility to make sure your vehicle is fit for the road. This includes making sure you have enough fuel to complete your intended journey.
If your vehicle breaks down, you should:
- move it away from double yellow lines
- not park on the pavement
- not park in a disabled bay
You should get your car fixed or moved within 24 hours.
Cancel a parking ticket
If you get a parking ticket during a breakdown, you can challenge your parking ticket. You must have proof from a recovery company.
You can also:
- email parking@southwark.gov.uk
- call 0344 800 2736
If your vehicle was parked illegally because it ran out of fuel, we are unlikely to cancel your parking ticket.
