Hi,

Few weeks ago I got the PCN for failing to give way at what looks to be a Council money-maker Lambeth Salters Hill.
There's a video (I'm the dark grey Vauxhall Astra) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Buugj8vZ2WY

I know people had appealed before and some were successful so I appealed with the following message (mainly copy-paste from the successful appeal made by another user some time ago)

Dear London Borough of Lambeth,

The alleged contravention did not occur. The sign at diagram 615 of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General
Directions signifies that "Priority must be given to vehicles from the opposite direction", and at this location this
sign is used in combination with a diagram 811A sign which means "Beginning ... of section of road where traffic
has priority over vehicles from the opposite direction.", the diagram 811A sign is located on the far side of the
bridge when looking from the location of your CCTV camera, and the back of the sign is visible in the CCTV
footage on the right hand side of the screen, just past the bridge.

One oncoming vehicle can be seen in the video, a Mini that reached the priority area after I merged to the left
lane. As such no vehicle that was in the priority area was impeded by my car and I did not fail to afford priority to
any driver in the priority area, it follows that the alleged contravention did not occur.

Please cancel this PCN.

I just got a reply through post rejecting my appeal (attached)
Basically the most generic reply, they haven't addressed my arguments.


What are my options now? Should I appeal to E&TA? If so, how should I approach it?

Thanks
