Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi all,

I have recieved a Notice to Keeper (postal - PoFA) on the 13th April 2026 for the vehicle allegedly 'stopping' in a no stopping zone on double yellow lines.

There is no information regarding how long the vehicle was stopped. The vehicle had just pulled out of the car park (APCOA Car Park Leeds Station) located on the same road with no visible signage stating no stopping on that section, nor the correct road marking present, which the letter argues there is.

The vehicle had to stop due to a navigation error which would have resulted in further issues had it not been corrected. It was not to pick up or drop off as it had just been parked within the aforementioned carpark.

I haven't got the funds to afford to pay off this clear attempt at extortion and bullying. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

This is a street view image of approximately where the car had stopped after exiting the car park on the left of the image:

This is a satelite view of where the car had stopped (shown in red) and where the only signage was visible and available (shown in green):

And lastly an image of the signage in question, slightly out of date image from google street view. I am unable to return to the location to get any more images:

I will consider attempting the 'appeals' process, however, I am unsure I could deal with the additional stress and time of having to go back and forth consistenly with them after the initial appeal.
