If you are in a right hand drive car on your own, from getting out of car putting ticket in barrier and getting back in car at the airport. ?

I dont know the time limit but if you pull the bonnet of the car right up under the barrier then once the barrier lifts it won't go down again until you drive out.

I keep thinking of Mr Bean and the sketch where he was trying to get out of the car park without paying using various mad means as ever Bee

what i mean is from putting ticket in machine at barrier, do i have time to get back in right hand drive car before barrier comes down again, maybe a hard question.

[bktayken]

if you put the ticket in and the barrier lifts it wont come down until you pass through ...

Yes I understood your question sealord which is why I made the suggestion. The barrier will not drop once it senses a car/object underneath it.

We had this experience at Manchester Airport a few months back. The next time we went they were demanding £1500 for us to get out. The barrier clocked our reg on the way in on the first visit but because it was open on the way out it never registered so assumed we'd been parked for a couple of months.
Obviously it wasn't paid and the staff eventually saw the funny side.
