Update: Appeal lodged. Hearing (by video) on 1st July.


For completeness, added this to the appeal>

Ha, well Happy Christmas to Waltham Forest too...

They have rejected the appeal.






I'm happy to go to adjudication if the view it is worthwhile...

Anything further to add having seen rest of PCN?

TY

Noted Hippocrates, ty to all.
I'm proposing the following (courtesy of Co-Pilot).

Subject: Representation against PCN FR67118070

Dear London Borough of Waltham Forest,

I am writing to formally challenge the above Penalty Charge Notice issued for the alleged contravention of “Entering and stopping in a box junction when prohibited.”

I entered the box junction with a clear exit ahead, so no contravention occurred.

• At time of entry into the box junction, my exit lane was clear and unobstructed.
• The Highway Code (Rule 174) only prohibits stopping due to stationary vehicles blocking the exit.
• My brief stop of 2 seconds was due to courtesy to another driver, not by a blocked exit.
• Video evidence shows the stop was momentary and trivial, with space ahead to proceed.

Therefore, the alleged contravention did not occur and the PCN should be cancelled.

Yours faithfully,

PCN received. As per video, turning left, I thought I'd cleared the box and stopped. There was space in front to move further if required. Timing indicates a 2 second stop.  Advice please.

TIA
David
