Hammersmith and Fulham PCN - Studdridge street NE bound - 52M non-compliance of motor vehicle
« on: »
Hi all, first time posting here and was signposted here from the helpful people running a similar operation on the MSE forum. This is about a PCN a family member got and I wasn't there so i know as much as you would. Unfortunately, they are on holiday but if necessary i will ask them for further information (they would like me to appeal if possible however).

Date / time of contravention: mid-December 2025 around 7pm
Date of notice: 05/01/2026
PCN number: HZ96139123
Number plate: LS24SMU
Website to view PCN

Google maps location

Almost similar thread i found on here
-------------------------------------------------------------

Here's what i've been thinking (anything and everything) to potentially use if i could appeal (because £80 for this is hefty!):

- It is dark so seeing the sign is harder (they are in their 60s) and they were focused on the tight manoeuvre
- It is a car bought recently (September 2025) and have only driven it a couple times and with it being wide it was also a concern when getting through the narrowing.

- We aren't londoners and not used to these types of prohibitions on side roads (it looks like a regular residential road past the traffic narrowing)

Thank you

Problem here is that the restriction signs are about 10 yards in advance of the narrow point, so when they were worrying about the width restriction they had already passed the two restriction signs. Two signs and in good order, too. The real problem in my opinion is their lack of knowledge about these restriction signs. Were they following satnav ? Just using this like automatons is fatal in London with these restrictions all over the place. Satnavs are never up-to-date.

I would advise them to submit representations based on your narrative here, namely strangers to London (say where they live), elderly, not used to the new car, etc. If H&F reject their reps they will re-offer the discount provided the reps are received within the discount period.

Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure whether they used navigation, but i assume they did and would've definitely used google maps. I've just checked on google maps and it allows a route through this street without mentioning restrictions so it is possible they simply relied on it.

To be frank, I don't see any robust appeal argument to take to London Tribunals, all I've seen so far is mitigation, and adjudicators cannot take that into account in their decisions.

I see, i'll just submit my representation and hope for the best. If not, i'll just pay the fine. Thank you!
