My Draft for your review please :
PCN VG20959955 & VG20959966 – Contravention Code 02J
[name ]
[address]
Challenge made due to The contraventions did not occur owing to exempt activity .
I stopped on Hood Road in Barry in the rainy storms of 23rd November ‘24 for the purpose of allowing my passenger to board the car directly from his apartment front door. He was unable to walk without the aid of Crutches.
Initially I stopped outside Goodsheds apartments #5, Hood Road Ref
Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.
at 13:55 with my hazards on, drivers side alongside the kerb so that my passenger could board the car.
Due to the intensity of the rain and the passenger stating that he was not physically able to walk with crutches off the kerb to walk around the car to enter the front passenger seat, I was told to turn the car around.
After 1min, I proceeded to drive down Hood Road, safely turn the car around and come back up Hood Road to a slowly stop outside the Goodsheds Apartment #9 Hood Road at 13:57
I remained in the car with my hazard lights on for 2 minutes whilst my passenger boarded the front passenger side of the car from his apartment door with the aid of his crutches.
Once he had got in I immediately and safely drove away from the location.
Subsequently I received 2 PCNs both for the same contravention of 02J – “Parked or loading/unloading in a restricted street where waiting and loading/unloading restrictions are in force.”
I received 2 posted PCNs, one timed at 13:55 and the other at 13:57 showing my car at the two locations where I stopped.
