Ok, thank You very much for Your help. I will just pay the £60 and in future I will be wiser to ask first and appeal later.

Yes, I've read about that. But that argument won't help with an appeal to the IAS, right? The only option left is to take the case to court?

I simply explained honestly why I stopped there. Exactly as I did here. What's most interesting is that when you fill out the appeal form on their website, you can choose the option of emergency stop for health reasons. As you can see, this is all just a deception.I didn't look for help on the internet because I didn't expect such rude and impudent behavior from them. A few months ago, returning from this airport, I mistakenly set the navigation route to go through a toll bridge. It was the first time in my life that I drove this route. It was still quite dark and seeing the information board before the bridge, I thought they were for a toll motorway section, so I quickly changed the settings in the navigation and took smaller roads. Soon, a fine for not paying the bridge arrived. I sent an appeal, honestly explaining everything, and the fine was withdrawn. I only paid £2 for the crossing.In this case, I also expected understanding, but as you can see, I was wrong.

Hi.I took my friend to the airport. She had a cold, she had received a message two hours earlier that she was losing her job, so she felt terrible. At first I wanted to go to the car park where you can park for free for about 15-20 minutes and drop her off there, but because she felt very bad and was close to throwing up, I decided to drop her off at the nearest safe place, which was one of the entrances to some company. I stood there for literally 15 seconds, took her suitcase out of the boot, she left, and I immediately drove away.A few days ago I got a letter with a penalty of £100 (or £60 if I pay quickly).I immediately wrote to them an appeal and explained the whole thing. To my surprise, the next day I received a reply in which they rejected my appeal. What pissed me off the most was the content of this refusal. There is no reference to the content of my appeal, only repeated reminders that there are a lot of signs, prohibitions, information, etc. No one mentioned the emergency situation that I wrote about in the appeal and that there is no place in the entire area where you can stop for a few seconds in such a case. They completely ignored the content of my appeal.Additionally, they gave information that I can appeal to the Independent Appeals Services (IAS), but then I have no chance of a lower £60 fee, I will have to pay the whole £100.----------------------Is it worth appealing to the IAS and if so, how should the appeal be formulated to be effective?Thanks.
