Ok, well here is the rejection -
It was indeed addressed to myself by name

I'm not looking for any choruses of anything in my favour, I'm looking for honest opinions of whether I should go for it as I'm as yet undecided.
It's a leased vehicle, I was the driver, I've had the first appeal turned down by RBK&C - I can post their response tomorrow, it's pretty straightforward and just includes a photo of each of the signs.

Right ok, thanks that's interesting, I didn't realise the borough border was right on that junction.
It's a bit of a leap but I think I might go for this, I think I've got a strong enough case to give it a crack.

Ok, I’m guessing by that reply that you’re firmly in the camp that I wasn’t paying proper attention and should have definitely seen that sign.
It’s one sign, combined with another stating different information, angled away from drivers line of sight and not repeated at all until you’re committed to going through the junction.
I didn’t see it, it could have been obstructed by a high vehicle (such as a bus), or I could have looked away for a second.
I’m not sure which buses you’re riding btw, that sign is a little way off the side of buses I usually see.
I’m just trying to gather valued opinions on this, anyone else?

Apparently the wording is "Motorists must have clear, timely and repeated notice, especially before making irreversible turns"
I don't think one sign twisted slightly away from your line of site 100m from the entrance meets those requirements?
There is a yellow sign a bit further away that just states that the "Enforcement cameras live", but doesn't refer to what those cameras are enforcing.
It's a big one but surely there's a case there?

Hi guys,
I'm considering going to London Tribunals for the Albert Bridge weight limit (north side) PCN on the grounds of insufficient signage - ie. one vertical sign which is slightly pointing away from your line of sight 100m from the entry and no repeat signage until it's too late and you're committed to taking the entry to the bridge with no chance to divert.
Chat gpt seems to think I have a decent case on those merits, just thought I'd float it here... Have many people been turned down for that? Would obviously be a pretty huge one if it was successful and they had to reimburse all those fines.
Cheers,
L

Ha, no that would make sense. I guess I was just responding to the accusation of whether I was about to be "part of the problem"

Thanks, I appreciate everything your saying...
b789 - what would you say to people who just would rather not having the stress of having the debt passed onto debt collectors, ramping up and then having to deal with a whole new group of charlatans trying to extract more money out of you?
I do agree with you in principle but just sometimes I find it better for my own life and stress levels to wipe the slate clean, even if I'm aware I'm being bent over the barrel so to speak.

yes good point, can't seem to edit at the moment though

Actually maybe I should clarify that I don't know whether those documents were included to the leasing company from NPC, they definitely weren't forwarded onto me with the ticket.

Sounds like the 5 minute minimum consideration period might be the route to go down, I don't suppose anyone has something that I can cite regarding that rule when I appeal?

No, by the looks of things someone crept up behind the van whilst I was sat in it and took those photos. Nothing was attached to the van at the time, the fine came through to the leasing company and then they passed it onto me.
It's a leased vehicle and the notice is in my name, after the leasing company named me as the leasee.
None of those documents were provided, to be totally honest my own personal approach with these fines is if I have a valid reason or technicality I can use that's great, but I'm not so keen to go down the disputed driver route, just my preference.
