#1 Re: 6 seconds in a yellow box - received a ticket

Guys, I never saw the replies to my last message. I thought I would update the outcome.I appealed to the adjudicator saying exactly what I said in my first post.I got ChatGPT to reword for me - but everything was as stated. I think it added 'I'm fully aware of the legal rules' or something.2 days before the adjudicator appointment Redbridge Council decided NOT to challenge.I wish there was an extra rule where the stakes were raised: if an appeal is withdrawn, then the council has to pay £xx to the defending party for waste of time.I think this would equal the balance given that your fine can't be reduced to 50% had you paid early. -

#3 6 seconds in a yellow box - received a ticket
on 16 Sep, 2024 01:16 in Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on)
I got a ticket from Redbridge Council for flipping 6 seconds in some junction box.I was in the box maybe 10 secs total (other 4 seconds, I was moving slowly).I've appealed saying there was a car ahead that *suddenly* held up traffic.I positioned myself to over take the mini backlog (safely and legally) - hence why I was stationary for just 6 seconds.I could actually have positioned the car so that I was out of the box (at least my tyres out), but I deemed that to be dangerous so I didn't do this.I only entered the box because there was free flowing traffic.The above is what I have said - or something very close (I have written and saved on my PC exactly what I said).The idiots will no doubt reject my appeal and not bother reading.I thought I would pass it by you guys to see what advice you would give.EDIT I could easily have been crawling through the yellow box - never stationary, always moving and in doing so been in the yellow box for a much greater time than 6 seconds! Just a thought. + The yellow box was actually quite small - I would say 4m x 4m - so giving motorist little time to know it's there (in comparison to a big yellow box). I thought I would add these points incase relevant.Thanks.
