Free Traffic Legal Advice

Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it!

Sorry, I don't have a copy but it was something like this.

I would like to appeal as I was taking my disabled wife to the hospital and I did not realise that the bus gate was in use. I have been driving this route for over 4o years and due to habit, I did not realise that the road had changed. I passed through the gate twice and received 2 tickets. I paid the 1st ticket but I was hoping for some understanding and leniency due to the medical appointment.

I know, it was a terrible response but I didn't know what to say. I did see some other responses for the same gate that mentioned the distance and the OP was asked to measure the distance.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated or I will pay for my Dad.

Thanks!   

The in person hearing was listed for 1 February 2024. I just checked the portal for evidence and found a 'Do not Contest' cancellation from the council. Wise of them.

I would like to express my appreciation to mrmustard for all his kind help with this case.

Thank you for all your help. You are a true credit to this forum and to all unfairly treated motorists.

Thanks again!

Seems there are a few other people here who got tickets at the same place.

I might try to ask for some leniency on my Dad's behalf. I will update here if I do.

Hi,

My dad was taking my Mum to hospital and drove the route he has been taking for many years. He didn't realise that the road was now a bus gate.

He drove through twice without realising. He got a PCN last week for the 1st time (he paid) and has now received a 2nd PCN.

Is there any hope of an appeal?

My parents are in their 80's, my mum is registered disabled and the car has a blue badge.

Here is the notice.







Strangely, I've tried to look at the pictures but it says the PCN can't be found



Does anyone think there is any chance of appealing?

Many thanks

I actually found a word document where I saved my original appeal.

This is what I said:

Hi,

I would like to challenge this PCN as I genuinely thought I was parking in an area that I was allowed to park. I noticed the signs that the parking bays was suspened but I parked nearer to where there were no signs. I also displayed a resident permit ticket.

My parents live at LeRose Lane and as I used to live there, my GP is in West Green Road. I had a medical appointment at Laurence House Surgery and I was running late, I did not realise that the signs were displaying bay numbers. I was parked nearer to a sign that did not mention the bays were suspended.

I would like to challenge for the following reasons:

1. I had a medical appointment.

2. I was parked nearer to a sign that did not display any warnings about suspended bays.

3. I had resident tickets displayed (as seen in the pictures taken) so it was a genuine mistake.

4. I have never received a Haringey PCN before so I would be grateful for leniency.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

I could try the same appeal? Can I ask in what way the signage was inadequate?

I received the Notice to Owner yesterday.

Do I now challenge? It seems the challenge is to Haringey council.

Thanks
