<p>The Government does not issue guidance to the private parking industry on the levels
of penalties for motorists. The private parking sector currently operates on a model
of self-regulation, and parking companies predominantly obtain access to DVLA data
by being a member of one of the two Accredited Trade Associations. These Trade Associations
set out in their codes of practice that the maximum level should be no more than £100.
Both Trade Associations suggest their members offer a reduced rate of at least 40%
if payment is made within 14 days of the issue of the charge notice.</p>
