Wonders never cease! Well done.
Thank you. It had to be non-enforceable. I think an adjudicator would agree if it were to go there.

I disagree, I think if this had gone to adjudication it would have been down to which adjudicator you got, many adjudicators would have thrown the book at you for this.
I practice law in the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, London Tribunals, the First-tier tribunal for Scotland, and the Traffic Penalty Tribunal for Northern Ireland, but I am not a solicitor or a barrister. Notwithstanding this, I voluntarily apply the cab rank rule. I am a member of the Society of Professional McKenzie Friends, my membership number is FM193 and I abide by the SPMF service standards.

Just for doing a 3-point turn in a quiet residential street? That would be quite harsh. I'm satisfied it's all done and dusted now.

It would be quite harsh but then some adjudicators are, which is why getting a discretionary cancellation was really good. It would have probably been a 50 / 50 bet at the tribunal and I wouldn't risk a maneuver like this again, but as you say a win is a win.

@antman40:  you were lucky.  But, the moral of the story is, try everything.  ;) And you did.
IF YOU RECEIVE A MOVING TRAFFIC PCN PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE MAKING A REPRESENTATION:

Much agreed.

I am very pleased to see that at least somebody in the council has not lost all commonsense !  What country are we living in, for Heavens sake !
