I wasn't trying to avoid traffic. I'm a licensed PCO driver and had just dropped off a passenger. I pulled over briefly because I was checking my navigation before continuing my journey. The vehicle was stationary for only a very short time and there was no intention to park.
I'm aware the photos appear to show the vehicle on the footway, but I'm looking for advice on whether there are any procedural issues with the PCN or whether the evidence establishes the contravention, rather than debating my intentions.
