Free Traffic Legal Advice

Video shows you driving slowly past the two signs. The directional arrow is mounted at the bottom of the restriction signs, so its difficult to think of an appeal argument, sorry to have to say it. Are you new to the area, or a stranger to London ?

I think there have been a few cases allowed for the confusing signage. I'll see if I can dig one out later. There are a couple of such restrictions on Brick Lane.   

I was picking up a disabled passenger at the time. Would it be reasonable to base my appeal on this, using their valid disability badge as supporting evidence? A friend mentioned that their similar appeal was rejected, so I'm doubtful this will be considered.

It is something you should emphasise in your representations to the council. They may give way, but most London councils have hearts of stone, as they love the money so much.

As expected, I’ve received a Notice of Rejection from Tower Hamlets Council — but they’ve misspelled my name on the letter. Does that kind of error matter at all?

I usually save a copy of my appeals on my laptop, but in this case, I don’t think I did. The main premise of the appeal was that I was picking up a disabled person who was unable to get to me, and that I stopped briefly to assist without putting anyone in danger — there were hardly any pedestrians in the area at the time, and I left immediately afterward.

As expected, the appeal was rejected. However, I noticed that in the rejection letter, they misspelled my name. Could this error be enough to get the PCN dismissed, or is it not worth pursuing further?

Does this concern a PCN you already have a thread for?

Yes, I did open a thread for the PCN back in June.

Is it this one?
