i went to pick up a friend from leeds railway station and mistook the pick up point for a taxi rank due to the volume of taxis there. when i realised i had missed the entry i pulled over to reverse around a corner and enter the pick up area. i saw a red sign and changed my glasses to read it and saw it was a 'no stopping sign' i have received a PCN from UKCPS for stopping for 40 seconds (according to their time stamped cctv) while i read the 'no stopping' sign. once i read the sign i left. while i was reading the sign my passenger had seen me miss the pick up entry and walked down to the car and got in while i was stationary. i have appealed to UKCPS which they rejected and have now appealed to IAS but in my appeal i used a template from AI and mistakenly referred to 'my' stopping. does this now ruin my defense of not naming the driver as the station is subject to railway byelaws and not relevant land. Further the signage on the entry to the station area is situated at a mini roundabout and next on an uphill sloping road in front of a pedestrian crossing which makes reading these signs impossible as attention is rightly focused on navigating the road. What do i do when IAS inevitably rejects my appeal? Any help would be appreciated
