I got a ticket from Redbridge Council for flipping 6 seconds in some junction box.
I was in the box maybe 10 secs total (other 4 seconds, I was moving slowly).
I've appealed saying there was a car ahead that *suddenly* held up traffic.
I positioned myself to over take the mini backlog (safely and legally) - hence why I was stationary for just 6 seconds.
I could actually have positioned the car so that I was out of the box (at least my tyres out), but I deemed that to be dangerous so I didn't do this.
I only entered the box because there was free flowing traffic.
The above is what I have said - or something very close (I have written and saved on my PC exactly what I said).
The idiots will no doubt reject my appeal and not bother reading.
I thought I would pass it by you guys to see what advice you would give.
EDIT I could easily have been crawling through the yellow box - never stationary, always moving and in doing so been in the yellow box for a much greater time than 6 seconds! Just a thought. + The yellow box was actually quite small - I would say 4m x 4m - so giving motorist little time to know it's there (in comparison to a big yellow box). I thought I would add these points incase relevant.
Thanks.
