Thanks Hippocrates, before submitting an appeal, I phoned TFL on 20/02/26 and requested a video of the incident. However I haven't received anything, so I phoned them again yesterday and they said that the request is on hold awaiting dispatch...is this unusual?  I am wondering if there is something wrong with the video.

Thanks, I will give them a call tomorrow and request it.  Did the appellant that won their appeal obtain the DVD but had no way of viewing the footage?

Thanks @Incandescent.  I will wait for the template from Hippocrates before submitting an appeal.I tried to find the video on the tfl website but I couldn't find it

Good afternoon,I hope you’re all well.My wife has recently received a PCN for driving in a bus lane on Woodford Ave IG5. This bus lane is quite new, and the weather on the day was very poor, which made visibility difficult. She was driving to work, and because traffic in the right-hand lane was turning into Clayhall Avenue, she moved right in order to continue straight ahead.We’re wondering if there may be any grounds for an appeal in these circumstances. Any advice would be much appreciated — thank you.

Thanks for the reply and advice.  I have seen the video and asked my Uncle what happened, he said he only reversed a lttle as there was no parking further down the road and he wanted to unload some items.  He is an OAP with a disabled badge so cannot walk very far.

Good afternoon,Please see the PCN below that my uncle received after briefly reversing down a one-way street in order to park and unload some items at his flat.Could you please advise whether there is any scope to appeal this notice?Many thanks

 I will ask her when she is back from work but I guess we don't have a leg to stand on then for this one? Thanks

Please see below - the other pages:

Thanks @Incandescent I have spoken to the Mrs and she said she was following the sat nav which didn't have the restiction marked - it was a route she doesn't normally take but was directed down the road due to traffic.  apparently she approached the junction straight (from the left) down St Andrews from Blackhorse lane

Good evening,I hope you are wellMy wife has just received the attached PCN when she took a wrong turn on the way home from work - is there any scope for an appeal?  Any assistance much appreciated, thanks

Quote from: Incandescent on 18 Oct, 2025 19:41It's up to you really. You don't have a strong argument, but with good adjudicator, you might win on the basis of the only clock visible on approach to the sign is the one in your car, which, whilst reasonably accurate is clearly not as accurate as the one used by the council, but the council have not placed such an accurate clock that they claim to use at the point of entry. There was a successful case some years ago where the adjudicator said there had to be some application of common sense, in view of the fact the motorist only has his own clock to rely on which may show a different time. Having said that, your are not a hugely strong ground with a four minute variance. Careful writing of the appeal emphasising the council demand absolute obedience to the times, yet do not place a clock to esure this. Let's face it, if they can afford the cameras they can afford a couple of clocks ?Of course it's your money, so if you paid, the regulars on here, like me, will understand.Thanks for the detailed explanation, that makes sense. I can see how the “no clock at the point of entry” argument could be used, but it does sound like it would come down to how sympathetic the adjudicator is on the day. Given that it’s only a four-minute difference and not the strongest ground to fight on, we’ll probably just leave it rather than take it further.Appreciate the advice and the context though, very helpful as always!

Good afternoonHope you are well.LBR have replied to my appeal - please see response below and kindly advise - is it worth taking further or just settling now?Thanks

Okay I will submit an appeal based on the de minimis argument and see what happens.  thanks

thanks for your reply, Ihave checked with the Mrs and the time displayed in the car was wrong so when she entered the zone she did not know it was still prohibited.  Anyway - I found this post below - do we have similar grounds for appeal?
