Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Passing on liability help

If it's pre-NTO- ie it was stuck to the car and you haven't had anything through the post yet, the driver can appeal.
If it's reached NTO stage (ie it's been posted to you) you need to deal with it. So... he could write the appeal and you could post it in your name.

Up here they don't enforce private access dropped kerbs unless the property owner requests it. And if a dropped kerb is enforced, it's enforced for everyone, no exceptions for the home owner or guests of the home owner.

I don't know about TFL, but are we talking a combined PCN/NTO in which case does the rejection of representation have to be through the post.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: What is the legal/enforceable timing for the 10 minute grace period-10th minute or 11th minute?
« on: February 24, 2026, 06:28:35 pm »
What's the contravention? That'll determine whether 10 minutes is due.
10 minutes grace isn't related to observation though. It's the amount of leeway you have after your time runs out. Say you had a P&D or pay by phone, you have 10 minutes for unforeseen circumstances such as appointments overrunning or the like. But to be sure it's 10 full minutes you have to do 11. That's not actually written down, it's just practical.
Observation just needs to be 5 mins. In practice 6 mins because if you time from say 10:00 to to 10:05 you may have timed from 10:00:50 to 10:05:10 and given less than 5 mins. But there is no statutory requirement of observation time, just that it's applied according to rules.

DoT guidance states that markings don't have to be pristine to be enforceable. They'd have to be a lot further gone before you could argue you can't see them.
Leaves would be mitigation if the leaf cover was so thick you can't see the hatchings. The fact there are leaves on the edges and bins there doesn't mean they can't enforce the hatchings. If the hatchings are enforceable they are enforceable if you are substantially on them, and they are clear enough for most of the area beneath and around your car.
RingGo has horrible capitalisation on the T&Cs, but I don't think that affects anything.
