Free Traffic Legal Advice

Looking for parking on Barkingside High Street. I drove past occupied parking bays, turned right into Horace Road and u turned. Turned left back onto the high street and stopped on the left on a bus stop temporarily, waiting for traffic to pass so that i could U turn again. I put on my reverse lights but then saw a person leaving a parking bay on the opposite side. I proceed to drive forward and park in the parking bay.

The council evidence shows me temporarily stopped in the bus stop with my lights on , but the video cuts when my reverse lights come on. There is no further video of me continuing to park in a bay.

I received a Contravention notice.

Do i have grounds to appeal on basis that I did not stay parked in the bus stop?

In his/her defence, could OP use Schedule 7, Part 6, para.4, (2)(b) of The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016, which states:

 “(b)a vehicle which is prevented from proceeding by circumstances beyond the driver’s control or which has to be stopped in order to avoid injury or damage to persons or property;”
