Free Traffic Legal Advice

This is a general announcement that all TFL's PCNs for red routes / moving traffic / bus lane contraventions have a number of systemic flaws that render them all open to challenge, but only if the motorist does not take any action without being given some specific instructions which I'd rather not ventilate publicly. Anyone with a TFL PCN should contact me directly and I'll deal with them.

This does not apply to ULEZ/LEZ, the congestion charge or the Blackwell and Silvertown tunnel PCNs.

If TFL are reading this, I promise you I'm really, really not trying to target you more than any other authority, it's just that your processes are $hit and have more holes than a sieve, that's not my fault.

There is a CC PCN here:

Lost cause though as it's far too late.

Well now I am kicking myself because today I paid a red route PCN, after having requested the photo and video evidence (utterly ridiculous to have to write to them to request, and then get sent the video on a CD!) ... the video did show me clearly parking in a loading-only zone (perhaps stupidly, but the sign wasn't obviously visible from where I parked. Not really a defense though!) ...  I am contemplating posting the letters and photo/video evidence just to see whether anyone says that I could have escaped the charge, as useful information should I make the same mistake in the future.

Hi CP8759

I have received a PCN from TFL today. Should I create a new post for my pcn or message you?

Thanks

Please message me directly.

Any advice ? I’m going to have to do something this week.

this one might be urgent.
