The Story so far
Driver visited Frimley Park Hospital, and on exixting got a safety belt warning show on the information screen.
He stopped the vehicle to investigate and after checking that the 'fault' had been cleared continued on his way out. Drivers estimate for this action, no more than one minute.. possibly as little as 15sec.
RK received PCN claiming vehicle was stationary for one minute exactly in an area designated no stopping by the Parking Company
RK was intially advised to check procedure and contacted the PALS service at Frimley Park Hosp, who gave the RK an email address to instigate the appeal. This was done and although the appeal was delivered correctly, it had not been read which concerned the RK
RK then asked PALS for a contact number and they advised contact is email only
RK then rang the hospital direct for the dept involved, which they had no knowledge of, and passed me onto the security who told the RK to send in an appeal on the UKPC site
So next stage? attached are the PCN copy and photos raken od the signs. It will be boted that the Highways DYL go into the Hospital but at the point where the UKPC sign is sited have been over painted red!
Question.... looking at the UKPC appeal site i have to choose between the Driver/RK/RKand driver/
At this stage would i be in order to put RK ?
There isnt a convuloted explanation on times/delays etc to put forward. Only that the safety beltwarning light came on and as such the car was not in a safe condition to proceed. Once rectified is was then compliant, and driver continued on their journay. They feel aggrieved that they should be penalised for checking that their own safety was not compromised in continuing without confirming everything was ok, and that the time stopped was necessary to check the equipment.
It may be noted that the time stamps on both pictures appear to be the same,and the addtl pictures mentioned on the UKPC website number, are 2 in total, one of which is a copy of the one on the PCN..the other a close up of number plate
What now is the best course of action? Has it got a better than even chance at POPLA or do i pay up now and 'save' 40.00 should it fail?
Picvs are ow on an imgbb album....Q how do i get the link on here for yout to view?
