You haven't any hope with this unless there is a fault with the PCN wording.

No other PCNs showing at present on Hounslow's site.

I can understand the first time, but subsequently, you would know the traffic island is there with its Keep Left arrow. Nothing I can think of immediately other than stating you were unaware of the mistake until PCN 1 turned up, so ask for those dated between PCN1 and the date it was served at your address, to be cancelled.

Hello Experts,

I got this PCN and it took me by surprise. I wanted to go right and the queue was big on cars going straight, the lines were dotted which i thought i am allowed to cross if there is no traffic coming from the other side. I did not know about this sign in blue showing keep left. I have done it 2-3 times as that junction is always busy and I might receive more PCNs. Could someone help with if there are any ground to fight it out.

PCN attached:
