Free Traffic Legal Advice

There is a clear No Right Turn here, so I think you would struggle at London Tribunals, unless somebody can suggest a 'technical' appeal. These are based on council mismanagement of the enforcement process, and usually nothing to do with the alleged contravention.

Thanks! I sent a begging appeal, so we'll see.

The driver approached head-on. Here's the video:https://youtu.be/CjE_calJjhs

The video is set to private so we are unable to view.

Made it public now. Please check again.

Start of video shows car completing a turn. Please describe your route.

Oh yes, I can see what you mean. It was actually my wife driving that day. It appears she came up Chiswick Common Road and turned right into Fishers Lane. I’m not sure what signage was in place before making that turn, but she would not have seen the sign positioned at the entrance to Fishers Lane. 
By the way we have lease hire car.
The 28 day period ends on the 1st June, so hoping a good defence can be put forward.

You could post the video and check the tribunal register for any cases here. Did the driver apprach head-on or turn into the restriction.

Please repost the PCN with PCN number, date, and car reg visible. Your car reg is visible to all and sundry when you drive around. We can then go and look at their video.

Is this the location ?

Please tell your approach, (left or right turn, or head-on)

Yes, a left turn was made down this road.

Thanks for the responses and sorry for the delay.
PCN: NJ43995170
Registration: LL24GYO
Date of notice: 05/05/2026

I left it as 'Please select an option' and I was able to proceed.

Appeal along the lines of:

I am the hirer of the vehicle and, under no obligation to do so, will not be identifying the driver. Your PCN does not comply with the requirements of the Protection of Freedoms Act in order to transfer liability to me as hirer  (namely failure to include the required documents), and I am therefore unable to assist you further in this matter. I look forward to your confirmation the PCN has been cancelled.

Make sure you don't inadvertently click on a 'I was the driver' button.

They will probably reject it; and they are IAS for subsequent appeal so not that high a chance of success there either. So you would need to tough out the 'debt collector' letters and see if they make a small claims court case. This should be easily defendable on the above basis.

Thanks for this - should I not include the fact that the football tournament overran. If so, that doesn't implicate the driver at all, right?

Did you receive any other documents with the PCN?

Please show us the back of the notice, and please confirm (in addition to the question above) if you are the hirer of the said vehicle.

Please see the back of the notice here.


I did not receive any other documentation and I am the hirer of the vehicle.
