I am away from tomorrow so think I will just pay

Ah, I had this before on a previous PCN. Is there any merit in contesting on that basis?
I would be taking it to tribunal so is it just better to pay?........... and also pay more attention on the road in future!
If there is an appeal can you point me to the wording?

As far as I can see the PCN successfully deals with a quirk in the controlling Act, (the LLA & TfL Act 2003), which have different periods for payment and submission of reps. Its the same 28 days, but payment period starts from PCN date, and reps submission starts from date of service, 2 days later.
There may be a technical argument based on their website pages, but this sort of thing is invariably only dealt with at London Tribunals, and you have to risk the full PCN penalty, the discount option is lost.

Not sure what happened that day. I was probably following some kind of map and completely missed the road sign. I know the area well and its a mine field with signs which can be difficult with my ADHD but there is no excuse for this one, it is a clear no right turn and somehow i managed to still do it. Question is, is there anything Hackney have dropped the ball on here I can go back with?
