If I was to say I was loading from work would this be acceptable?  As the ticket states my car was observed for 5minutes. Would I be allowed to take more than 5minutes to load?  There is a loading bay right outside my workplace but I'm sure it was full when I attempted to load my vehicle

I was unloading stuff from my car to work.

Here's a detailed view from a Panel of Adjudicators: https://www.londontribunals.gov.uk/sites/default/files/keycases/Bosworth%20%26%20Others%20v%20LB%20Tower%20Hamlets.pdf

Stuff being?  The exemption would depend on necessity.

If you tell us what you were doing we can advise on whether this might be a conditional exemption.

As regards the contravention:

Double yellow lines convey - without the need for additional upright signs- that waiting is not permitted.

DYL have effect from the centre of the carriageway to the corresponding building line.

The photos show that you were parked in this, restricted, area. Parking on the footway and 'off' as in 'not actually on' the lines is immaterial other than you're also prey for the police doing you for obstruction!

There are exemptions to the restriction, but you've not suggested you did anything other than park and leave your vehicle.

Hi all just need some advice with this pcn. I received this fine today mon21st October. From Anglesey county Council. I've parked the other side of the double yellows and their also broken. My ticket says "parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours. But there isn't any signs up stating no parking and no times either. Where do I stand with this? Any help much appreciated. T.i.a
