Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi there,

I was issued with a PCN at 22:13 for parking on a double yellow line with a blue badge.
Contravention: parked in a special enforcement area on part of the carriageway raised to meet the level of footway, cycle track or verge.

I did not see any signs or extra road markings on the kerb like on the opposite side.

Any why I can challenged
This.
Thanks

I didn’t see anything on the floor other than double yellow line it was night time, no signage,

Pl get the photos from the council's website so we can see the degree of incursion into the prohibited area.

As it stands, these are the exceptions to what is a statutory prohibition - which is why signs are not required, a driver is expected to know and not knowing is not a defence.

The contravention is made out and given you were right on a junction, I'm not surprised the PCN was issued. However the blue badge is strong mitigation, but it would be helpful to know why you were parked there, and how long you were parked for.

When I parked there was 1car parked in front of me so I couldn’t move any further

Ok sure sorry,
It’s just that it’s difficult with all the caring responsibilities and depression.
Any why that’s my problem.
I sent something already as  that 14 days was ending and I  didn’t get any response,
I wrote that -the PCN is invalid as the wording says of the 28 days period do not follow the legislative requirements as it should be date of contravention not the date of service.-
Didn’t know what else to write.
