Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi there, please could I get assistance with the below.

As the owner of a vehicle I recently received this fine for allegedly failing to comply with a restriction on vehicles entering a pedestrian zone.  The hours observed are during school drop off/pick up times.  I have lived in the area for 10+ years and it does take some getting used to to remember to not use this road.

Because of a previous post I attempted to challenge this PCN which on this occasion was unsuccessful.

The fine in question is here:






My challenge to this can be seen here:

Any help would be greatly appreciated

So,  having had your representations to the council rejected the next step is to either pay the amount they want, (discount re-offered), or register an appeal at London Tribunals.

Your representations to the council consists of a single sentence, "the contravention did not occur".  So why do you think the contravention did not occur ?

The latest GSV view of the location is February 2023, and the signs are not shown, so this restriction is newer. In the absence of any GSV view, we really need to see photos taken by you and the council.  The time of the alleged contravention is 08.44, well inside the morning restricted period than ends at 09.15.

However the video shows you seemingly reversing out of a property, or maybe making a 3-point turn, then driving past the signs, except that we can't see the sign you drove past, only a sign for the other direction.

So, the bottom line is we need to see the back of the signs in the video

I'd like to appeal if you think theres a case here?

To be honest, I had a similar PCN previously and they cancelled due to an error on their end..so was thinking that that may be the case again.

The car in question is the black car which is behind the red one, do you still want pics of the back of the signs?

The NOR fails to mention the adjudicator can extend time. If you are going to appeal this, usual advice: contravention did not occur and full submissions will be filed upon receipt of the council's evidence pack. Personal hearing.
