Posting for a friend, I'm neither the driver or keeper for this PCN.


The diver diligently parked in a public car park, paid for their parking, displayed the ticket it in their windscreen and left before the paid for time expired. They are therefore somewhat unhappy  to have received a demand for £100 for "Whole Period of Parking Not Paid", and relieved that their habit of always keeping tickets to prove they paid appears to have been vindicated.


I've scanned the letter (both sides) as well as the ticket (on the second scan), covered up things I think are identifying (happy to unredact if I've overdone this).


No appeal has been made yet, this is not a hire car and the driver's diligence extends to keeping their V5C up to date. Pictures of the signage are not available as this was a holiday to a place hundreds of miles away.

Aberdeen City Council has apologised after some motorcyclists were wrongly issued with Low Emission Zone (LEZ) fines. Motorbikes and mopeds are exempt from the LEZ, which came into force in the city centre at the start of the month.

It seems that the argument I've made on Pepipoo in the past that a sign saying something like "Ultra low emission ULEZ zone" does not sufficiently convey the details of the restriction to motorists has been used successfully in court by well known lawyer Nick "Mr Loophole" Freeman:

The Daily Mail article is short on legal detail (and long on Khan-bashing), and this is actually a case about existing LEZ signage not ULEZ expansion signage despite the headline, but it does say "TfL insisted the signs were deemed lawful by the Department of Transport more than a decade ago and said it is investigating why certain evidence was not submitted." which hints to me that perhaps the Secretary of State did not actually sign off on the signs at all!

I expect this isn't the last we'll hear of Elevation Access Ltd v TfL.
