Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi everyone. I challenged my penalty of stopping at the bus stop about a month ago and have now received the notice of rejection of representations. I told the council that I'm a delivery driver and had an order to pick up at the Khyber Diner restaurant. I mentioned that there was no parking nearby and provided a delivery receipt as evidence of my trip. Unfortunately, they have rejected this. Another delivery driver told me that they should cancel the charge if I told them I was doing a delivery. I guess they have stopped being so lenient . For years I haven't seen this mobile ANPR/CCTV car and now the council has started using it more at night even when buses aren't that busy. I'm not too sure about the rules of this camera car. My friend told me the camera car did two laps and within a few minutes was already gone. Is there any action I could take against this?



I have added a link to the CCTV footage at the bottom and you can see how busy it was as well as another driver's surprise seeing the camera.

Hi I'm trying to help a family member out with a bus lane penalty charge notice in Sheffield. They got lost and ended up going through the bus lane without giving notice to the signs. I've looked at previous instances of this situation and wondered if it's possible to cancel the charge if the council doesn't manage to get the service date correct? This was discussed previously here - http://forums.pepipoo.com/index.php?showtopic=131956


If I'm correct these should be the dates:


Date of issue and posting of penalty charge notice - Friday 05/04/24
Date of service (+2 working days) - Tues 09/04/24
Date of service plus 21 days period - Mon 29/04/24


If I check the council's payment website on Mon 29/04 and it doesn't offer the discount or if it is discounted and I appeal on this day and they don't re-offer the discount then do I have grounds to appeal to the tribunal?

Hi everyone! Unfortunately, I received a PCN last week (25/09) after I was rushing to pick up my old car from the garage before they closed. I understand I was in the wrong here and will probably just pay the fine like I normally do. My mate suggested this forum to see if I could get a second opinion. I'd be grateful for any kind of advice or help. Thanks!



I have used this garage many times before and normally park on the same side of the road where the garage is on Harwood Street (north side). This side of the road allows parking for permit holders or for those who pay at the machine. On this occasion, there were no more spots on this side of the road, so I decided that I would park on the other side across from the garage. I rushed to the garage and didn't read the parking sign hoping that my yearly Highfield parking permit would apply the same as on the other side of the road. After returning from dropping off my old car, I found the PCN and realised that even though my parking permit does apply, the sign included no parking/loading restrictions. At this time I was parked during the restricted 4:00 - 6:30 pm time    I found it pretty annoying that the council would put extra restrictions only on one side of the road and it doesn't really help that the sign was covered in branches. I have shared a Google folder with the CEO's images (evidence 1-8) and it includes some extra pictures I took. I hope this explains things. Please feel free to ask me anything. I should have until next Mon (09/10) to challenge this.
