Hi,
Would appreciate some help with a PCN I believe I received unfairly this week.
I received a PCN from the London Borough of Waltham Forest on 26/02/26 for the alleged contravention: 31 (Entering and stopping in a box junction when prohibited).
I was turning right (as shown in the video evidence below) and had 2 cars ahead of me. The large lorry 2 cars ahead stopped earlier than I expected (this isn't shown in the video evidence) and so I had to wait to complete my right turn on the yellow box junction.
Just to mention in case this may also be relevant: the reason the truck stopped was because the car in front of it stopped unexpectedly (I forget now if it started parking or stopped to drop off a passenger) so I wasn't expecting to be slowing down in the junction as there was no build up of traffic in the road ahead.

Do I have grounds to appeal this PCN on that basis?
Grateful for any help with this.
