Received the PCN attached for stopping at a red route. The location mentioned is a EV charging point that is a 1 single bay). I pulled in to the bay for less than 45 seconds ( 3 pictures shared by TFL are within 35 seconds of each other) to let a passenger out without realising this was a EV charging point only. I didn't notice the bay turning in as It is very much immediate as you make a turn, and I need to focus on oncoming traffic from other direction. There is very little time to notice given the tree trunk and foliage of the tree and traffic coming from other direction to merge. Better pictures from the TFL page attached. I moved immediately as I noticed the bay, but now realise that's not quick enough.
Thank you in advance fo any guidance.
Couple of questions,
1. can I quote the tree trunk, foliage obscuring the board and lack of clear view due to insufficient approach time?
2. Should this have been PCN code 14 and not 46? Is this an angle to challenge?
Appreciate any advise . If I'm at fault then I'm happy to swallow the pride and pay.
