Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Trafford council, red route / clearway, warwick road,

I think I am just going to send the requested information to them via the email on the letter this weekend.

On a side note, I was operating on Uber and the job time shows 10:16 for some reason, however the PCN was at 10:09am.  I think the uber job shows the time I completed the job or something.

Hello

I filed an appeal for this PCN online, stating that I was a private hire driver picking up a passenger.  They have replied via post and asked for a job sheet or invoice which confirms I was carrying a passenger. They have said that I need to send this information via return post in 14 days.

My question is why do I have to send it via post? This will incur charges that I do not wish to pay for.  Can I email the requested information to them instead?

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Manchester council, bus lane, portland street

Indeed, that seems like the most likely explanation. I have been PCN'd here before but it was a while ago, and I remember driving down it recently and not reeceiving the PCN.

Is it best to pay it at the discounted rate now, or is there any way out of it??

Yes, it seems on double red lines you can pick up and drop off passengers but cannot wait. As i was picking up a passenger that was waiting there, is it worth appealing on these grounds?

I wanted to know whether this is worth appealing or asking for more information before I go ahead and just blindly pay the requested amount.

Thanks

I do not remember receiving the original notice. 

Thank you kindly for the defence it is tremendously helpful, as is the advice on how to submit the defence. I can confirm I have done this so will sit tight and wait now

Private parking tickets / Letter of claim from DCB legal

Hello,

I have receieved a letter of claim which is attached.  I have today submitted an AoS for the claim, and i believe I have 28 days to submit a defence. Could anybody help with this defence and let me know if it is worth pursuing.  I would not leave my vehicle in a disabled bay as the leisure centre had an abundance of spaces, I think I may have parked there for a few minutes whilst waiting in the car. It could also be that somebody else was using my car.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Salford Council, bus lane contravention, Chapel Street
« on: March 27, 2025, 03:37:14 pm »
Hello,

I have receieved a PCN from Salford City Council for a bus lane contravention.  Would it be worth appealing this. I was using a courier SATNAV and unfortunately the directions provided took me on this road, and I did not realise I was within the operating hours of the bus lane

Please find attached PCN :

Hello,

I have receieved a PCN from Manchester City Council for an alleged moving traffic contravention.  Would it be worth appealing this, I was following satnav and as it was dark I did not see any no right turn signs or anything similar (haven't been to the area before). 

Please find attached PCN :

Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Single justice procedure issued for driving in lane with RED X

Thank you for all the advice. I think I will plead guilty to the SJPN and include a covering letter explaining the circumstances in the hope that they will show some leniency on the points. Perhaps offer me a motorway awareness course, although I completed one in February 2021

Thanks - I understand however i still think there was not enough of a gap for me to move over or stop safely, as there were vehicles behind me. I did make effort to move over or stop, such as reducing my speed but did not want to cause a collision.

Would you advise me to plead guilty via post and accept 3 points?  I would like to avoid any penalty points, I already have 3 penalty points on my license albeit they expire next year.  I have been a full time taxi driver for over 30 years with no other driving offences or accidents in this time.

Hi

I will email info@nationalhighways.co.uk (is that the correct email if anybody has done it before)
And ask about the logs. Hopefully they will provide me with some clarification on how long I had to move out of the lane before I was flashed.

I’m not actually sure if it was one or two gantries that displayed the arrows, nor am I sure if they were in the first lane, second lane or both lanes.

Surely there should be a record of how long and which lanes the white arrows were displayed.

But if this isn’t recorded or logged then the judge would simply find me
Guilty based on one photo of my car in the red X lane, with traffic behind me and next to me. Despite me saying in court that the arrows were not clearly displayed in both lanes and did not give me enough time to safely move over before the red x was displayed

I appreciate the advice and input from everybody, I will decide in the next few days which way to plead

Thanks - at least that some consolation.  If i decided to plead not guilty and the matter went to court, would i be able to request more video / photo evidence such as how long the arrows were displayed for prior to the RED x, and how long I was driving in the red X lane before i moved over? Can i request this information before i make my plea?
