Hounslow, Code 38L, Failing to comply indicating vehicle traffic must pass specified sign,Bath Road Jn/Ede close
« on: »
Hello Experts,

I got this PCN and it took me by surprise. I wanted to go right and the queue was big on cars going straight, the lines were dotted which i thought i am allowed to cross if there is no traffic coming from the other side. I did not know about this sign in blue showing keep left. I have done it 2-3 times as that junction is always busy and I might receive more PCNs. Could someone help with if there are any ground to fight it out.

PCN attached:

I can understand the first time, but subsequently, you would know the traffic island is there with its Keep Left arrow. Nothing I can think of immediately other than stating you were unaware of the mistake until PCN 1 turned up, so ask for those dated between PCN1 and the date it was served at your address, to be cancelled.

You haven't any hope with this unless there is a fault with the PCN wording.

No other PCNs showing at present on Hounslow's site.

Hello Experts,

Thanks for your replies. I have received one more pcn related to this.  Please could you advise what should i put into representation? Can I appeal based on first time and unaware of the contravention and should i call or email them to get the second one cancelled?

Thanks

Unless someone sees a PCN fault - and no one else has commented - I would pay the PCNs at discount.

You can try asking for discretion on one but I very much doubt they'll give it for this type of dangerous contravention.

Thanks for the reply. I think 14 days have passed now so discount period is over. If I appeal and even they reject, do I get the discounted rate? Also should I call or email for the other PCN?

Both PCNs are at £80 now.

You also have an outstanding PCN at £160 from Amhurst Gardens.

Thanks for confirming. Should I not try to make a representation and see if they might allow or make a procedural error. Would they re-offer the discount?

For Amhurst gardens, I had made a representation to notice to keeper and awaiting a reply
