32jd Greenford Road - Ealing

Hi all,

Received a PCN coded: 32jd.

Here are the facts:
- I had no knowledge that I couldn't change lane (new to the area, didn't see signage, road markings indicate that i can change lane)
- I stopped my vehicle to make a lane change once I saw road markings that indicated it was right turn only
- I stopped my vehicle before the traffic light because I didn't want to cut in or make it seem like I was trying to get ahead of anyone (see video below)
- There was a driver behind me beeping in an attempt to move forward and tries to undertake once I have space to make a lane change

Can anyone advise me on how to approach the appeals process. I assume Ealing will reject my appeal but need help with the wording.

TIA

And implication is that appeals are not allowed by the adjudicators.

There have been mixed views of adjudicators indeed the former chief adjudicator allowed a lot of these. I would fancy that you have a good chance with this as the lane change was before the white line
