As I said the second PCN is a nailed on continuous contravention given just a few hours later.

IMO, your arguments go to mitigation only and are not a statutory defence. Therefore don't take this beyond the NTO stage if the discount is re-offered unless a NOR brings forward material procedural improprieties.

@JulianV

battery was completely dead so could not be jump started. bike broke down mid ride so i mean if power was going to the battery it wouldn’t have happened in the first place. but all recovered and replaced battery now and problem fixed now!

Out of interest, why not just bump start it?

The second PCN is a continuous contravention so you should get that cancelled.

You can try the police advice and the breakdown but I expect they'll not cancel the first one.

Hi all and good morning. Yesterday evening, around 6pm, my motorcycle broke down in the City of London due to what I suspect is a dead battery. I pushed it about one or two streets down to the nearest motorcycle bay where a police officer stopped me, ran my registration, asked for my license etc to make sure I wasn’t nicking it, then told me it was a theft hotspot at night so I got a bit nervous and decided to use my D locks to anchor to a signpost as none of the three nearby motorcycle parking spaces had anchors.

This required me to park my motorcycle on the pavement, but I thought eh, better get a PCN than my bike nicked. Low and behold, I come to pick it up around 9AM today, and I have not one, but TWO PCNs on my motorcycle.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on how I can appeal both PCNs, I already plan to appeal the second on the grounds of it being a continuous contravention.

Both PCNs BB linked below (apologies for not using Imgur, blame OSA not me…)
