TfL PCN 50r Performing a prohibited turn (No right turn)
« on: »
Received this in the mail yesterday.

Does anyone know if there is any relevant grounds to challenge this PCN?

Rather not pay the £160 (£80 if paid within 14 days).

So you were trying to defeat the no right turn at the lights or did you turn left at the junction and then right?

The No Right Turn applies to the road the OP took, see here the two NRT signs : -

Can this be the restriction the OP was trying to circumvent ?

I see nothing in the circumstances to indicate any solid appeal argument, although there may be a 'technical' appeal argument, but I'm not an expert on TfL PCNs and enforcement process. See here: -

Good morning Stamfordman,

I was attempting to defeat the no right turn.

Previously the road markings & signage clearly stated that only buses could do the right turn at the junction of Prince of Wales Road/Stratheden Road, onto Shooters Hill Road.

So it was a common practice to crossover the junction & traffic permitting, turn right slightly further down on Stratheden Road, into the slip lane that exits onto Shooters Hill Road.

Google Street View location below I think shows the junction before the cctv cameras were installed.

Good morning Incandescent,

Yes that is the restriction I was attempting to circumvent.

Interesting to know if there is a ‘technical’ appeal argument with relation to the PCN.

"So it was a common practice to crossover the junction & traffic permitting, turn right slightly further down on Stratheden Road, into the slip lane that exits onto Shooters Hill Road."
So clearly the council have moved to stop that by putting in the NRT signs. The only thing I can think of is, have they updated the traffic order for this junction.

the advise you are getting is worth nought without sight of the video. You must ask TFL for it then post it on here

Good morning Incandescent,

Will endeavour to find out if the traffic order for the junction has been updated.

Good morning Pastmybest,

I have requested the DVD from TfL & been told to expect it within 15 days. Once I receive it, I will post it on here.

See the first link in my forum profile. PCN is flawed.
I REGRET THAT, FOR THE PRESENT, I AM UNABLE TO TAKE ON ANY MORE CASES AS A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE LONDON TRIBUNALS. THIS IS FOR BOTH PERSONAL AND LEGAL REASONS. PLEASE DO NOT PM ME UNLESS YOU HAVE POSTED YOUR THREAD ON THE FORUM AND I WILL ATTEMPT TO GIVE ADVICE.


If you do not challenge, you join "The Mugged Club".

cp8759 and mrmustard are true geniuses. I know my place in the hierarchy of The Three Musketeers. 😊 "The Clinician", "The Gentleman" and "The Showman"

There are "known knowns" which we may never have wished to know. This applies to them. But in the field the idea that there are also "unknown unknowns" doesn't apply as they hide in the aleatoric lottery. I know this is true and need to be prepared knowing the "unknown unknowns" may well apply.

Does the video show that OP's car is committing a contravention at all?

Part one of video shows OP's car stopped at traffic lights - from whence the registration number is lifted. Black car, make and model indistinguishable.

Part two is from a different camera and shows one of many black cars, in contravention turning right, at a different location.  The registration is unclear.



How does the council prove that they are the same car?

If you take them to London Tribunals, they will show how the two videos are linked in their evidence pack, (or they should do, if you query this). Be aware that adjudicators work to the civil standard of "on the balance of probabilities", not the criminal standard of "beyond all reasonable doubt".

I'm not doubting that they can link the videos.

My point was that all the second video shows is that a black car is in contravention.

How do they establish that the car turning right is the OP's car? 
It's hardly distinctive, and several cars in a row are black.
