Merton Council - 31J - Entering and stopping in a box junction when prohibited
« on: »
Hello, a driver I know received a PCN for entering a box junction. I've looked at the video and the driver is on the junction for about 2 minutes so I can't see any other option but to pay it. But I was wondering if the roadworks on the box junction could possibly be a factor in any way.

Any help would be appreciated.

Can't see any issues with the video footage, it's an open and shut case in that respect!

The date on the PCN is almost three months after the date of the contravention. Is the vehicle leased, hired, or any other reason why this might be? Normally the council only gets 28 days to serve it.

The PCN has a very specific timing for the contravention, including the seconds.  Technically the offence occurs when the driver causes the vehicle to enter the box junction in the first place which is a few seconds earlier than stated - but I don't think this would be a strong point of appeal!

There are "known knowns" which we may never have wished to know. This applies to them. But in the field the idea that there are also "unknown unknowns" doesn't apply as they hide in the aleatoric lottery. I know this is true and need to be prepared knowing the "unknown unknowns" may well apply.

Yes, it is a hired vehicle. The driver no longer hires the car. I suppose as it happened around 3 months ago is probably the reason why my friend was surprised at receiving the PCN
