Enfield, 31J Entering and Stopping in Box Junction, The Town EN2
« on: »
Hi All,

Please would you be able to assist with this PCN. I was unfamiliar with this road so was caught up on the yellow box junction. I have two points which I was thinking of making a challenge on:

1. As the yellow box junction is around a corner, the end of the yellow box junction cannot be seen whilst waiting at the traffic lights. The view of the whole box junction can only be seen once you have passed the traffic lights and have started turning right, giving little time to react.

2. The location of the box junction is described as being on the road "The Town". Whilst there is a yellow box on The Town at its junction with Silver Street, the box I was caught in is actually wholly on Southbury Road at its junction with Silver Street. Am I able to get the PCN cancelled due to the wrong location being quoted?

Location is here https://maps.app.goo.gl/MAqYcFJv1Mi2ncdz5 It is the larger box on the East side, not the smaller one.

Thanks in advance

First things first - contravention date 22 May 2024, date of PCN 2 Sept 24.

Is it your personal name and address on the PCN?

Is this a lease car? Even so this looks out of time and you can ask for events timing  leading up to this PCN reaching you.

Yes it is my personal name and address on PCN. This was a courtesy car so it would have gone through the garage first, who then passed my details onto the council.

the street names are debatable at this location. although the box appears to be in Southbury road the postal address (and their own published address) of shops to the right of the box in the pic are "the town"
I always believed that to be Southbury road  :-\

we saw this location crop up in threads on PPP

I didn't get a rental agreement. The only thing I signed was the duplicate sheet showing the damage and mileage on the vehicle when I picked up the car, and another when I returned it. Unfortunately I no longer have copies of these.

The second ground is without merit as the Authority has 6 months to serve the Penalty Charge Notice where liability has been passed to a hirer.

Put up a draft re the inexact location and I will dig out some cases recently won.  Also a draft re the lack of sight around the corner.  This may well end up at the Tribunal on the website grounds.

The contravention can also be challenged as you were signalling to move out of the box but fast moving cars prevented you and then the traffic started to move. Whether you were or not would have to be worded carefully.

As I understand it:

2)Subject to the provisions of this section, where—

(a)a penalty charge notice has been cancelled under paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to this Act;[ authority accept representations from RK to the effect that the vehicle was on hire],


then this time limit for serving a new PCN applies:

the borough council or Transport for London, as the case may be, may not serve a fresh penalty charge notice after the expiry of the period of 28 days from the date of the cancellation of the penalty charge notice

In short, 28 from date the 'garage's' PCN was cancelled, not 6 months.

The extended period here suggests that the OP's PCN is invalid by virtue of being served late.

Which seems to suggest a need for the OP to contact the garage and ask when/if the original PCN was cancelled.

Does Enfield put the history of a PCN online?

I couldn't see a history when I got the video. In my experience most councils don't do timelines - TFL for all its other faults, does.

OP, do you understand what is being requested?

Self-evidently the PCN has been served out of time as worded. However, an exception applies in the case of a vehicle supplied under a vehicle-hiring agreement by a vehicle-hire company.

As you did not sign a vehicle-hiring agreement ('I didn't get a rental agreement') then the above exception cannot be relied upon by the garage. If the authority were foolish enough to cancel on the basis of non-prescribed evidence from the garage then tango sierra, this is their problem, not yours.

So, pl ask the garage for a copy of their representations and the authority's Notice of Acceptance of Representations. 

But keep one eye on the calendar, although you may make reps no later than 1 Oct. I'd aim for no later than 25 Sept.
