Good job you didn't pay as they employ eKashu which was dissolved in 2000.
Dear Anonymous Parking Officer
I am sitting in the smallest room of my house.
Currently, your letter is in front of me.
In a moment it will be behind me.
Which is just as well because I do not take too kindly to the extrapolation of the urine.

Decision Date 20 Aug 2025
Adjudicator Darminder Lehal
Appeal decision Appeal allowed
Direction
cancel the Penalty Charge Notice.
Reasons
1. This is a personal appeal against a penalty charge notice issued by the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames .
2. The Appellant states he stopped to let the vehicle join from the left hand side of the adjoining road. The Appellant asserts he did not stop due to the presence of a stationary vehicle. The appellant also raised the point that the box junction is marked beyond as required under the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 and are therefore unenforceable.
3. The Enforcement Authority submit that the Appellant’s vehicle was observed entering and stopping in the yellow box junction on the date in question. The Authority have provided CCTV of the alleged contravention and photographs. They assert that the Appellant’s vehicle enters the box junction when the exit lane was not clear. The Authority say it is the motorists responsibility to assess the road situation ahead and only enter the box junction if they can be sure of crossing it without stopping.
4. There are 3 elements to this this contravention, firstly that the driver causes the vehicle to enter the junction. Secondly that it is stopped in the box junction. Thirdly that the vehicle has to stop due to the presence of stationary vehicles. I do not find that the third element has been satisfied.
5. This box junction is not only marked at the junction between these two roads but also in advance and beyond that junction. It is not therefore marked in compliance with The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 this penalty charge thus being unenforceable.
6. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed.
