Plymouth PCN
« on: »
Hi All,

My work van got a parking ticket without my knowledge, I received a Notice to Owner today.

There was no ticket on the van when I got back to it (although there is a picture of it on my windscreen on the council's evidence). Someone must have picked it up or it blew away, not sure.

I was parked at the end of a row of residence bays on double yellow lines. I knew I couldn't park in the resident bays so I had to unload my van from the double yellow lines instead. I was working in the top flat and had to carry heavy equipment up to complete a job.

There were no loading restrictions on the double yellows and they were also not painted on very well.

I've included all the evidence below, I'm sure the circumstances above should get me off but any other assistance or opinion is appreciated :)

How long were you away from the van. As you know, you have to complete loading/unloading in time necessary and then move the vehicle.

As you don't have the PCN, we don't know what observation time if any was on it.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeh not sure on the observation period, it's usually 5 minutes from previous tickets!

The thing is that's not enough time for me to carry equipment to the house (half way down the street, press the buzzer, wait to be let in, climb all the stairs etc etc and get back to the van).

You are allowed time to complete loading and each case turns on the situation - I'm checking you did and then went back to van rather start on job!

Would it be worth asking to see the CEO's ticket to find out the observation time? Also does the ropey state of the yellow paint have any bearing?

Yellow lines don't have to be in perfect condition, and those are in better condition than a lot we see on here. An adjudicator would determine they convey the restriction clearly enough.

You should win on the loading exemption, but you must describe what was involved in the loading that allowed a CEO to turn up, produce a PCN, stick it onto your van windscreen and walk on without you ever seeing him.

They may come back with some tosh, like "loading must be attended at all time"; it doesn't. Post up their response when you get it.
