probably not, i think they take a photo of your car with a timestamp on and showing the ticket you were displaying on alot of car parks now
A ticket for 3 minutes is harsh though IMO

If they took a photo then you wont but write a letter anyway and make sure you photocopy the ticket, but send them the original.
I got one the other week that was marked at 10.27, my ticket was paid up until 10.30

There's usually a bit of the ticket to complain 
I do it all the time me  Principle of the matter!
Edit - it takes then 6 months go get back which is an added bonus

I'd contend it just for the sake of it. Think my local council take about 3 months to get back to you about it. Moneys better in your pocket for 3 months than theres, lol.

Should do, even in a car park you need time to get a ticket as your current one is valid until the time stated. I'd contend it anyway.
