Afternoon all, I have read through quite a few of the posts on here and elsewhere. I am hoping for a bit of advice and hopefully someone experienced telling me I am on the right track.
I recently received A; Charge Notice, Notice to Keeper, as the registered owner of the vehicle.
It comprises of two A4 pages with still pictures of a vehicle and times, issued by Vehicle Control Services Ltd VCS (pictures attached).
The letter was received 15 days after the alleged infraction, unaware if it is a requirement to be within 14 days of the alleged infraction, or 14days of issue date?
The driver, I am told, was unaware of any signs that were obvious as to not being able to stop, they are not saying there weren't any, but they didn't see any. The driver was relatively unfamiliar with the area, but a previous visit many years ago, allowed a drop off free at the terminal. Apparently there is a sign on a roundabout just before the terminal telling "only move beyond this point if you are paying to drop off", or words to that effect. So they avoided the roundabout and moved immediately to a side road that feeds businesses. No signs were seen, and no markings on the road were seen (red or yellow lines), other cars had stopped, so the driver assumed (I know..) that it was fine, as they were completely unaware they were in a possible restricted area.
Having read previous posts, I assume this situation is dealt with the appropriate "Relevant land" challenge and form?
Any help, advice, guidance or opinion will be gratefully received.
Thank you.
