Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hello,

I have just recieved 2 PCN notices for failing to comply with a prohibition minutes apart. (10:58 and 11:01)

This was my first time travelled to Barking. I had to drop off my partner at the station and then had to do a uturn . i can honeslty say that i was not aware of any signs i could see visible that woud have warned me before that there was no through access to longbridge road.

i woud appreciate if any experts out there think i have a case as reading through some cases this seems to be the case where the drivers seem to miss the signage or are not warned beforehand turning into station parade.

i have 14 days from the 20/10/23 to make a representation and would apprecate any help.

below are the PCN and video links. Thank you in advance,

You went past the signs twice so by the letter of the law there are two contraventions.

However your best bet IMO is to make a plea for discretion requesting that they allow you to pay one PCN at the discounted rate. This is the only scenario where I'd suggest sending a letter in the post, because if they only log it against one of the PCNs you then get the other one cancelled based on a failure to consider.

Also if you have any meaningful mitigation please tell us now.

Lastly please re-post the remaining pages of the PCN, for some reason they don't load up. I suggest you just upload them to your google drive folder and let us know when that's been done.
