Free Traffic Legal Advice

Good afternoon ,

I have received a PCN for a yellow box junction at the location mentioned.  I have not worked out how to upload the video but it's worse than I recalled at the time.  A vehicle enters Salusbury Road from my right and as the traffic moves off South it stops with the vehicle stopping in the space I was anticipating to be free.

I have done some research on this (very useful) forum and note that many of the appeals focus on Section 4 (eight) of the relevant legislation and the difference in timeframes of 'date of notice' and 'date of service' effectively creating two distinct deadlines that contradict each other.

I have attached the PCN and hoping the collective subject matter experts can comment as to whether I have a case based on this.  Additionally, the website under Representation Grounds only provides one box entitled 'General Representation' and not the statutory ones included on the PCN.

The box junction extends beyond the junction on the nearside outside Starbucks but I don't know if that's sufficient for a representation as it doesn't conform to the regulation design (Traffic signs and something but I can't recall the exact legislation).

The video is pretty damning and I'm rather embarrased TBH!  But the moped managed to get round.....

I have looked at London Tribunals 2250161512 and 2250426286 and crossing my fingers that there's a loophole that I can exploit.

Many thanks,

Thank you for the prompt reply!

I have not made any reps - just deciding how to proceed.

I understand the argument - whether I can communicate this is another matter.  I'll try..

Date of notice (DofN) is 04/12/2025. 
Date of Service (DofS) is two days further on so 06/12/2025. 

To pay I have until 01/01/2025 (or 18/12/2025 for the discounted rate) taking into account the DoN. 

Reps by 03/01/2026 taking that as DofS. 

BUT, the paragraph starting 'If you fail to pay the PCN or make reps' uses the DofS implying that if I paid on 02/01/2026 I'd be okay when actually I'm outside of the window in the legislation. 

I'm guessing the point is which deadline is correct.

Afternoon, the only reps so far from Brent are on page 2 of the PCN - this should be the second One Drive link in my original post. Brent list multiple statutory grounds but they don't seem to then ask to select just one which I believe was an issue with I believe, H&F.  The website has just one tick box titled 'general representation' and no mention of the statutory ones within the PCN.

And I've seen the smileys slider now.....

Many thanks,

James.

Back later.
