Free Traffic Legal Advice

I received a PCN from Barnet council for "Entering and stopping in a Box junction" at High Street (EN5), junction with St. Albans road. My work only sent me the letter a few days ago so I have about a week or so left to appeal.

I am new here and this is my first post. I hope I have added everything you need.

My agruement here would be that the traffic ahead suddenly stopped in front of me. I could have emergency stopped before entering the box but this would have caused an accident as the driver behind me was very close and wouldn't have had the time to break and not hit me from behind.
Rather than create an accident I decided to continue as I thought I would clear the box but I didn't. I ended up stopping in the box at the very end of it.
Exiting the box was delyaed because another vehicle decided to do a U turn in front of me.

I also feel the box is to large. Where I ended up stopping does not need to have a box junction. It does not prevent any other vehicle from doing anything they need to do. The small road on my left I don't think you can turn in to from the opposite side of the Rd.

This is a company lease car.

Do you feel there is a way I can win an appeal please?

This is obviously a contravention for two cars.

Not sure if there any flaws with Barnet to exploit and Mr Mustard would know.

are you the black or white car? (can't read Reg on vid)

I agree the box here is very long and not sure if it's to cover the entrance on left but I think that's a private entrance.

great money spinner for Barnet and likely to see even more at this location due to a housing development under construction, the entrance to which can be seen on the left where the van stopped.
