Free Traffic Legal Advice

Reposting to separate my two PCNS.

I've unfortunately received two PCNS from a journey through London on the same day.

I was working at an event last week, and I had to run out to get some emergency supplies for the event. The traffic was pretty hectic in London that day. The journey was meant to take 45 minutes, but I ended up in the car for 4 hours.

I was pretty stressed from the heat and having to get back to the event site on time with the additional supplies I had set out to get. The PCNs are small mistakes of human error, which I refused to pay the council based on these terms. Any help or advice on how to escape the PCNS is appreciated.

thanks for flagging, it should be updated now

OK, so GSV shows there are two NRT signs, one each side of the exit into Shaftesbury Avenue. However this GSV view shows how signs can become obscured, although one is visible, plus there is the "Turn Left" on the carriageway.

However, the video shows the street clear of parked vehicles near the junction, so I have to reluctantly say that you don't appear to any solid grounds for cancellation of the PCN as regards the location and its signs. It's possible there may be a 'technical' appeal based on Westminster Council mismamagement of the enforcement process. So wait until the "technicians" comment, but don't miss the deadline to pay or submit representations as indicated on the PCN.

Okay thank you!
