Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi there,

I received two PCNs for driving through a restricted road twice (going in both directions). Whilst it was dark at the time, it was rather clear the road was restricted to vehicle traffic. So I don't think I've any basis to challenge validity of the PCN due to poor signage or on any other circumstantial basis.

As such, I was about to pay the PCNs but the payment link provided on the PCN doesn't work, it leads to a 404: Page not found error (www.southwark.gov.uk/onlinepayments).

So just curious if this provides a basis to challenge the validity of the PCN, or by any chance is there anything wrong with the PCN that could be used to make a successful challenge?

All 4 pages of the PCN:

The PCN is invalid as it curtails the period in which the council may serve a charge certificate as per the second sentence under the picture.

I make this collateral challenge re the validity of the PCN. The period in which you may serve a charge certificate is wrongly expressed as it is truncated. Please see Schedule I of the 2003 Act which clearly states from the date of service as provided at para. 5(2)

In light of the above, please cancel.

Choose ground: penalty exceeds amount.

Hold fire please and screenshot what the payment status is this very day for both and keep a record.
