Hi I am hoping someone can help me on here. My son received a PCN on 21.11.24 for taking a left turn into a no left turn road.
He swore there wasn't a sign and when I looked at the PCN I couldn't see a sign. On google maps there does appear to be a sign but its 4 metres before the junction and there is a bus route which can obstruct it. I rang TFL and asked to see the video but she was very vague and just said she'd looked at the video and it was on there. I made an appeal based on the fact I could not view a sign on the photographic evidence they supplied. ( I read that the sign had to be in the photograph for it to be legally enforceable)
I made my appeal on 13 Dec 2024.
I did not hear any response until about two weeks ago when I received a charge certificate for £240 from TFL.
I rang them again and they said they had refused the appeal in January. (I did not receive this)
I was told I would now have to wait for the county court order and explain why I hadn't paid.
I then requested a copy of the refusal notice which I have now received.
In it they state, 'Please be advised that your vehicle was observed from 13.01.15 until 12.01.23. During this time your vehicle was observed making a prohibited left turn. Please be advised that there was no obstruction covering the sign on your approachto the no left turn signage as per the CCTV footage.
I am hoping someone will be able to help me with this case. I viewed a freedom of information notice on TFL which appears (albeit from 2018-2020 that 3,218 PCN were issue. Over 683 were contested and just over 357 appeals were accepted. ) It does appear to be easily missed and not very clear.
