Free Traffic Legal Advice

OP, I'm still fact finding..

The photos show your car with its nearside on the footway. I presume you turned in from The Broadway, so did you stop within the first few metres? I ask because you have a potential procedural defence (which was not advanced in your reps) based upon the council's power to issue the postal PCN. But I don't want to put together a sequence of events which might unravel at adjudication.

You said that a group of CEOs turned into the road, implicitly from The Broadway.

I was about to take off a group of CEO came into the street taking a picture of my car.

But if they did then at least one of them went past your car because the photos are taken from the front of your car and you've not suggested that you turned in, turned round and then parked facing The Broadway.

Please give more details regarding where you were parked, from which road did you enter and whether a photo could have been taken of the front of your car by a CEO who had just turned in to the road without going past your car.

I turned in from the Broadway and while trying to find a spot to stop, then U-turned just behind where this this link opens: https://maps.app.goo.gl/HzXiZJzTbtVTbGMw7
Yes the CEO's did not go past my car, they took it from the front of the car as they entered the street.

Thanks, do I need to put anything about the letter received saying: "... observed the vehicle identified above from 29/11/2024 21:54:42 to 21:54:42" but the pictures are both from 21:53.

I had left by 21:54:42.

I've added a paragraph to the draft above to cover this point, it looks pretty open and shut now.

Thanks appreciate it!

What were the timings on both photos?

Did you drive away when the horde of CEOs was still there?

Both pictures say: 21:53, yes I was starting to move off when the group was there.

Thanks, She was feeling shortness of breath and nausea.

Is there a diagnosed condition that might have caused this? Does she have any medical paperwrok?

No, just pregnancy.

It was due to the pregnant wife feeling sick

Congrats, when is she due? Some medical evidence to confirm she is pregnant could make this a reasonably strong challenge.

Thanks, due in July, so a maternity certificate copy could work?

Should I put anything specific in the appeal

@cp8759 Do you think I have any leg to stand on?

I had stopped for a brief minute as a family member was feeling sick, so I pulled into the side street to give them so air.
The car was on and as I was about to take off a group of CEO came into the street taking a picture of my car.
No ticket was placed on the vehicle as I was driving off.

Do I have any grounds for appeal?
