Based on what you describe, we can probably help you with this as stopping for a car performing a three point turn is likely not an offence - but we can't be sure until you provide the relevant info.

Hello everyone,
As mentioned in the subject, I received a PCN on Friday, 15th May. The contravention occurred when a vehicle was making a turn from another road and performing a three-point turn, cutting into my lane. This situation caused me to stop in a box junction behind another vehicle. My vehicle was stationary for approximately 10 seconds before I cautiously moved out of the restricted area.
While I acknowledge that I could have been more attentive to the road and aware of what was happening ahead, I am exploring whether there are any points I could include in my appeal to strengthen my case. I am aware that I had enough space in front of me to creep forward, which would have allowed my vehicle to be completely out of the box. However, In all honesty, I was not even aware I was in a box junction.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions.
Thank you!
