Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / 37 j, not giving way, Salters Hill SE219
« on: July 20, 2023, 09:36:24 am »
Hi and thanks in advance for any help that you can give.
The requirement is to give way to oncoming traffic, seeking to pass under a narrow bridge, all very well except cars turn onto Salters Hill from the bottom end, and the camera is set at such an angle that even if a car has just pulled forward from the give way signs before the car has turned it looks as if the approaching car is much closer.
In my case I had given way to the white van shown in the central photo on page 2, and then moved off, after I had moved forward and was almost under the bridge the blue car turned onto Salters Hill.
The first photo on page 2 shows how close I was to the T junction at the bottom of the road, when the blue car passed me after I had passed under the bridge.
The first photo on page 1 indicates clearly that I was all under the bridge when the blue car approached.
