Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: TfL, Code 46 Stopping on Red Route, Chapel St NW1

Good news - TfL cancelled my PCN!

TfL first sent me a letter late August seeking further evidence. I responded that I had already shared the evidence available to me and reiterated the grounds in my representation, including that there was procedure impropriety due to the missing upright sign. After almost two months, TfL accepted my representation and cancelled my PCN.

Thank you everyone for your help!  ;D

Thanks, @cp8759! I have submitted my representation and will let you know when I hear back.

@Incandescent, I imagine the sign shown at the link below would suffice, although I'm not sure TfL have a practice of installing these for double red lines.

I have received the DVD. The footage is here:

As the video shows, I only stopped for a minute (12:06:16 to 12:07:27). Grateful for any advice on grounds of challenge.

Thank you!

Update - still no DVD, but I see the PCN status has changed to this:

25 July 2024
On Hold: SUS54 - DTES Footage Request (09/08/2024)

Any thoughts on what I should do next? Thank you!

Where it happened. Chapel Street in Westminster. GSV link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qLuT2dm9mRoMm2u99?g_st=ac (right behind the parked car/ controlled zone sign shown in GSV)

How it happened. I picked up a rental car from two blocks away with no passengers. When I reached Chapel Street, the car started to flash the seat belt warning light with a beeping sound even though I was wearing my seat belt. So I stopped at the nearest safe location (as captured on the PCN) and moved my backpack from the passenger seat, which stopped the warning light. I then continued with my journey.

I only stopped there for a very short period of time, as the CCTV stills from the PCN website show:
 
- First still (12:06:43, photo 2 of 3) shows the vehicle stopped at the location.
- Second still (12:07:25, photo 3 of 3) shows the vehicle stopped at the location with left indicator on.
- Third still (12:07:34, photo 1 of 3) shows the vehicle merging into traffic with right indicator on.

Procedural history. On 15 May, the rental company emailed me stating that they received a PCN and would share my details with TfL. On 9 July, I received the PCN below issued to me. On 10 July, I requested the CCTV footage from TfL by phone, however I have yet to receive this.

Grounds of challenge.

1. I could make a representation on the basis that the vehicle was stopped because the driver was alarmed by an "onboard noise or alarm", but I have no proof of this. So it seems unlikely that TfL will find in favour of me on this ground.

2. Is there a technical ground based on the Commercial Plant Services case from last November? In paragraph 16-17, the judge held that a red route required both an upright sign and a painted red line for CCTV enforcement, and it does not appear the upright sign was present at the location.

I would be grateful for your advice on how to proceed.
