Free Traffic Legal Advice

We need to see the video, and this can only be viewed on Havering's website via a webcode that is on the PCN somewhere. I don't see it on the front page, so please tell us what it is, or go to the Havering site yourself, download it and post a link here.

Looks like the location is here: -

A look on GSV shows a very long bus lane, which starts here, some way back, so please tell us more about how you managed to find yourself in the bus lane. The bus lane sign says "At any time", so it is operational 24x7.

Hey folks..

Hi folks.
I uploaded the web code as well.Can you please take a look and guide me further.
Many thanks

PLease tell us where this web code is, please, as I see nothing.

I went onto the Havering webpage and no web code was demanded.  The video shows the vehicle merrily proceeding along the bus lane.
So the OP needs to explain why he drove in the bus lane. Missed the sign ? Turned left out of a side road ? Turned out of premises and forgot the lane was there ?

IF the PCN is like the one on this thread, then my draft can be tweaked:

Please show the whole of the PCN. Or send it to my email address.

PM sent. I am  more than happy to represent.

Please do this online using the webcode and enter the PCN and VRM details:

Dear Havering Council

I make the following representations against the PCN

1. The PCN is unenforceable because the sentence under Enforcement Notice on the PCN wrongly states the period in which to pay and make representations  The Law states this @

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/1996/9/section/4/enacted

(3)A penalty charge notice under this Part of this Act must state—

(c)that the penalty charge must be paid before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of the notice;

(e)that, if the penalty charge is not paid before the end of the 28 day period, an enforcement notice may be served by the council on the person appearing to them to be the owner of the vehicle;


Therefore, the references to date of service in the following sentence is not only wrong but also creates an ambiguity:  If after the last day of the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which this PCN is served no such representations have been made, and the penalty charge has not been paid, an Enforcement Notice may be served.....

2. Furthermore, the payment option on the PCN does not state the address to which payment may be made:

(f)the address to which payment of the penalty charge must be sent;

3. I bring a collateral challenge on the basis that the PCN is unenforceable because the taken without consent ground clearly fetters to theft by its very wording that a crime report be provided. Therefore, this inaccurate reflection of the statutory ground does not take into account that a relative, or friend, may have taken the vehicle without the owner's permission so that the owner would not necessarily, if at all, report the matter to the Police in such circumstances or, indeed, make an insurance claim.

4. I put you to strict proof that the camera at the location has the correct VCA certificate to satisfy the criterion of admissibility of evidence as provided at para. 7(2) Schedule 1 of The London Local Authorities Act 1996 (as amended). If this is not possible, it follows that the evidence is inadmissible.

5. The video footage does not show any bus lane signage i.e. 958 and/or 959B allegedly passed.

In light of the above, please cancel the said  PCN.
