Free Traffic Legal Advice

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I wish there was an extra rule where the stakes were raised: if an appeal is withdrawn, then the council has to pay £xx to the defending party for waste of time.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.

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.
