Quote from: Incandescent on 27 Nov, 2025 19:03The LLA & TfL Act 2003 is flawed and has stumped quite a few councils because of this flaw. The Act allows 28 days from date of notice to pay-up, or 28 days from date of service of notice, to submit representations (appeal). So if you submit reps on Day 29 from date of notice, you are overdue paying, yet still in time for submitting reps !! Stupid isn't it.So does that mean I have a compelling argument?

Hi all,Doing this to help a friend out. See below PCN.Aside the fact that they entered the YBJ only once the car in front had cleared it and suddenly stopped, causing them to stop in the box, I'm thinking of appealing based on the wording of the PCN (having found out about this from researching on here)One succesful appeal from 2 weeks ago, I believe represented by @Hippocrates, is case 2250426286.Am I right in saying that this PCN contains the same confusing/conflicting wording re. "date of notice" vs "date served"  and that this would be strong grounds for appeal? (Considering Barnet will most likely reject and it will go to tribunal)

Hearing date set for February 25th.

I've recently noticed an increase in aggressive/dangerous driving in my neighborhood. The other day I witnessed an impatient driver carry out a dangerous manoeuvre at a junction which I captured on my dashcam. My question is how likely are the police to act on such footage. Am I wasting my time or do they take these things seriously. I usually wouldn't bother, but this is becoming an increasing problem in my area and something has to change.

I thought it was odd they mentioned this 50cm nonsense but I'd initially dismissed it, assuming it was just their way of referring to the fact I wasn't parked in the adjacent bay.So do I appeal based on this reason alone, or should I still mention the other reasons?(I assume the reason for appeal would now be "contravention did not occur"?)

Quote from: H C Andersen on 16 Oct, 2025 20:17Read the NOR. I have read it and re-read it.I don't mean to be ignorant but I'm still no more enlightened than before. My questions remain.

Quote from: H C Andersen on 16 Oct, 2025 16:59I've submitted formal reps to TfL......where are they? S76(3). Who advised including this?Anyway, you're home and dry.Read the NOR. Don't read what you think it says, read what it actually says.This was my repsQuoteI challenge liability on the ground that the alleged contravention did not occur. I also do not accept that the CEO had started to prepare the PCN before the vehicle was driven away from the location where it was seen. Furthermore, the authority is in breach of section 76(3) of the Traffic Management Act 2004, that is a procedural impropriety which means the penalty charge must be cancelled in any event.Yours faithfully,S76(3) - advised via PM by a forum member.By "home and dry" do you mean I'm on the right track? I'm sorry, I'm new to this, have done a lot of reading up, to try minimise the burden of the kind forum members on here.

I intend to appeal to London Tribunal with the following reasons: A. The owed amount in the NoR; whether it is discounted or not, is confusing - similar to the succesfull appeals in cases 2220767288, 2230535074, and 2240018512.Based on what I've read in case 2230535074 I am a bit onfused and unsure whether this argument is still relevant, and would really appreciate some guidance on this.B. In their NoR TfL failed to consider my representations and only repeated their allegations against me.C. TfL were in breach of section 76(3) of the Traffic Management Act 2004 - namely that the PCN was issued by a PCSO in Met Police uniform and not in TfL uniform as required.My quetion is do I have to prove this with evidence (I have dashcam footage) and if so how do I include this in my appeal, being as I'm having to submit it by post?I am relatively new to this and have never before submitted an appeal to London Tribunal, so would really appreciate any guidance/advice offered.

I've submitted formal reps to TfL and they've sent a Notice of Rejection.Is the only way to appeal to London tribunal via snail mail? TfL have not included any code to appeal online.

QuoteNo, because the red lines apply to both carriageway and footway/verge just like yellow lines.Correct, I wouldn't have parked there had there been a solid red line either on the road or in the parking bay, the same way I wouldn't if there was yellow lines present. My assumption was if there is no red line it shouldn't be enforceable. Also I believe the red route traffic sign was facing the wrong way.My point is there is nothing in the images from TFL that proves I was parked in contravention. No red lines, no red route traffic signs visible.Obviously I'm not disputing I was parked there, but I'm trying to find a technicality or procedural impropriety to get me out of this.Is this really enforceable??

Quote from: stamfordman on 16 Sep, 2025 23:27You were stopped adjacent to a red route parking bay on a red route so the contravention is there.But check this:https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/tfl-red-route-postal-pcns/Does the parking bay not need any red lines? There were none. It seems from GSV they have faded away, so I presume they are meant to be there...

Hi all,I received below PCN which alleges I was parked on a red route, however, there were no red lines visible where I was parked, neither is there anything to suggest I was parked on a red route from the images provided by TFL. Whilst there are red lines in front and behind where I was parked, there were none in the location where I was briefly parked. (The PCN correctly states that I drove off before the CEO was able to attach a PCN to my car)Would this be valid grounds for representation that no contravention occured, and if so, how would I word it?Any help is much appreciated.GSV Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4aLqGRm7uwr7vGSA8?g_st=ac

I've received the letter inviting me to take the speed awareness course. It's being offered via a long list of course providers. Is there any recommended one I should pick? (I'd be taking a virtual course)

Anyone? How can I tell what sort of device clocked me?
