Thread: Has TFL changed their PCNs?

A friend of mine has received a pcn form TFL through the post which not only purports to be a combined PCN and NTO, but also allows 21 days to pay the reduced amount from the date on which the notice was served.

This is the first I have seen or heard of these. Are they valid?

is it a CCTV pcn under the Traffic Management Act?

reg10 PCNs are both a pcn and an NTO

Yes it is a CCTV pcn -Traffic Management Act 2004.
Under what circumstances are Reg10 PCN's issued?

Under what circumstances are Reg10 pcn's issued?

Drive aways, threats of violence and obstruction of CEO's.

There are three circumstances in which a pcn may be served by post28. One
is where the contravention has been detected on the basis of evidence from
an approved device. The second is if the CEO has been prevented, for example by force, threats of force, obstruction or violence from serving the
PCN either by affixing it to the vehicle or by giving it to the person who
appears to be in charge of that vehicle. The third is if the CEO had started to issue the PCN but did not have enough time to finish or serve it before the vehicle was driven away and would otherwise have to write off or cancel the PCN. In these circumstances a PCN is served by post on the owner (whose identity is ascertained from the DVLA), and also acts as the Notice to Owner.
The Regulations set out what information must29 be stated on a PCN sent by post. The Secretary of State suggests that postal PCNs should be sent within 14 days of the contravention.


28S.I. 2007/3483, Regulation 10.

29 S.I. 2007/3483, Schedule, Paragraph 2, and TS.I. 2007/3482, Regulation 3(4).

There is no question of threats involved as the driver didn't know he was in the wrong [he still doesn't think so]. It was a CCTV operator who took pictures, but I have seen other
pcn's issued from CCTV but not a Reg 10 although none of them were issued by TFL.

Thanks for your post Lamma-I have just noticed that there is just over a month between the date of the alleged offence and the pcn being issued-any
extra grounds there?

only 'suggests' so no statutory grounds - can't hurt to throw it in though

try requesting to view the alleged contravention....

the legislation says you can request a viewing at a date & a council office of your choice....

Mayors Office in 6 months time?

...which "should" suspend emnnforcement in the meantime

Thankyou Recycler but I'D prefer to clear it up quicker than that.
