Hi
I need help Urgently with a red route PCN.GX11486352 Contravention 46.
On 23/11/2023 I was following my Sat Nav to locate a cake shop. I reached there at 18.26.05 and stopped in a bay to check the parking timing and the restrictions, but I didn't understand it. I went into the shop to ask about parking there, and she told me to park somewhere else. Within 2mins I moved my car and parked on a road without restrictions. It took me longer than it should've done but it's a dual carriageway and it takes longer to get in and out of the car and drive off.
In Dec 2023 I received the PCN, I was shocked to get a PCN for stopping to check the timing and restrictions. Their boards are confusing, how else can one find out when to park there? No link or CD in post for the video footage, (this is how the scammers work).
In the following week, I requested (online) the footage. In February 2024 I received a written reply (dated 29/1/2024) but no video footage.
On 14/2/2024 I sent a letter in the post, again requesting the video footage. At the end of Feb 2024, I received a reply (dtd 21/2/2024), saying a contravention footage has been raised under a separate cover. Still no footage received.
In March 2024 I received a Charge Certificate (dtd 12/3/2024). I was so angry, I phoned them up and said I've asked for the video footage number of times. You're acknowledging my request but choosing to ignore it. Why? She agreed but had no answer, but she was able to send me the video in the post.
Today 21/3/2024 I have actually received the video footage and it confirms that I was there for 2minutes only.
This is crazy, on dual carriageway parking bays, how else can one make sense of the restrictions and timing unless you stop there? I think TFL wants people to read the confusing boards whilst driving rather than to concentrate on other traffic and pedestrians and at the same figure out if parking there is allowed or not. Why have parking bays there? The restriction makes the bays dangerous.
Thank you
