They issued a ticket. They made errors on the prosessing of that ticket. They withdrew the ticket. End of.

I believe insurance companies have up to 14 days to update MID so I wouldn't really trust it one way or the other..

There are far too many websites popping up to claim they will do some government service for you (for a fee!) and there doesn't seem to be anything the government can do about them. There are services to do your passport application, book your driving tests, and now it seems to do your DVLA SORN stuff. None of these services need to be paid for and I wish the government would do something to ban these unnecessary rip-off companies.

I think he has just hidden his VRM. Would have been better though if OP hadn't marked the voucher in any way before his appeal. Looks like it has been tampered with now so that alone might screw his appeal.
-
In my view, the most important aspect of notifying DVLA is that the current RK is responsible for sending in the V5C. Whether or not the new RK had signed it is fairly irrelavent and I have definately sent V5's in without their signature with no adverse consequence. As a current RK, it remains paramount that you must ensure the DVLA gets you removed from any liability for the "old" vehicle.

Generally insurance companies view husband and wife as an acceptable "annomally" on who is the registered keeper of a vehicle.
-
For future reference, the new keeper green slip section 10 V5C/2 is all the buyer would have needed to tax the vehicle and you should have sent the remainder of the V5C to Swansea yourself. Never trust the new keeper to send anything for you when he has no vested interest in doing it correctly.

Leeds City Council Bus Lane PCN
crem replied to Mistertaximan's topic in Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences
I passed by a set of 3 "private hire vehicles" parked up in a car park presumably waiting for that all important call to arms. They all had upon their roof the standard type plastic roofbox that lights up, and on it was the one clear word.... "TAXI" -
Leeds City Council Bus Lane PCN
crem replied to Mistertaximan's topic in Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences
Personally I think 99% of people would call them all taxis. I know I have never telephoned for a private hire vehicle or minicab even. I have a couple of numbers stored in my phone though under the heading "taxi" -
I suspect the Severn Bridge Tolls are much more well founded in law than the PPC car park joke invoices. At a cost of £39 currently (which appears to be made up of not unreasonable itemised costs) I think I would pay it at the "within 7 days" price and look to get it back from the driver.

Looking at the size of your defence, rather than adding more in, I will be surprised if you haven't already exceeded the size that the MCOL can cope with as a defence. I had to submit one recently and I seem to recall the limit as something like 150 lines, but the lines are also a bit shorter than you would normally type on an A4 paper. I didn't want to shorten my defence so had to send it by mail instead.

The normal ACPO guidelines for speeding FPNs is based on speed limit +10% +2. So in a 30 limit they wouldn't normally prosecute until 35mph. However, there may be 2 things that affect this, 1 is that you may have been caught on a camera run by the local "safety partnership" and I don't know if they operate to the same guideline or 2 even if it was a police speeding offence, just because they didn't operate to the guideline, speeding is an absolute offence so you couldn't claim the FPN should be dropped because although you were speeding, you weren't speeding by enough!
-
They have lines on both sides of the road bacause usually these cameras are reversible, although, as you say, they only operate in one direction at a time. Perhaps, but why would you? Presumably you are the type of motorist that thinks speeding is only a problem if you get caught? and that is precisely why we needed the speed camera in that location in the first place. You should not need the "encouragement" of a speed camera to persuade you to maintain a safe (legal) speed.

Stopped by un-marked Police '2005' Corsa for speeding*
crem replied to spurscls350's topic in Speeding and Motoring Offences
I agree I did try to make that point clear in post #10 that the "seperation" can be by many different means, but there has to be something visible. Many drivers still mis-understand the national speed limit rule and apply it to the number of lanes, not carriageways. I have even known my ADI colleagues misinterpret it sometimes which is a bit worrying. For example there is a dual carriageway near me that has 2 lanes each way (so they agree 70mph limit), but it then gets a bit narrower reducing each side to 1 lane, but still maintains a clear "proper" crash barrier down the middle. They insist that this also, therefore, reduces the limit to 60mph because there isn't 2 lanes anymore. I disagree of course. -

This is not true. The road remains a 60 speed limit "single carriageway" unless there is some form of seperation from the opposite traffic making it a "dual carriageway". We have had threads on this forum previously where people have received speeding fines for exceeding the 60 limit on a road where they thought simply because the road (with national speed limit sign) went from 1 lane to 2 lanes so they thought the speed also increased to 70mph. -

Dual means 2, so there has to be 2 roadways split by a verge/barrier/kerb/anything. A dual carriageway means that the road heading "north" (for example) is seperate by some means from the road heading "south", It is not governed (as many people think) by the number of lanes that are heading in either direction. There may be 1, 2, 3 or more lanes going in one direction but it is still a dual carriageway. Equally, there may be 2 lanes going each way, but if they are both sharing the same undivided road surface, then it is still a single carriageway. -

By definition a dual carriageway must a central reservation otherwise it would be a single carriageway. -
they don't need 100% proof if it gets to court. They will simply present the evidence that they sent an s172 to the RK which requires the RK to state who was driving at the time. If you have ignored an s172 then you are guilty of a much bigger offence than the original speeding incident. If you have answered the s172 correctly, then you have confirmed 100% who was driving before it gets to court.

If they don't want people parking there when the shops have closed (thereby causing no harm), then they should put a barrier at the entrance that can be dropped down at close of business.

Help with a Parking ticket.
crem replied to snowy101's topic in Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences
I believe this attitude has been challenged successfully before on the basis that it is unrealistic to leave a vehicle open and unsecure whilst the actual delivery may be taking place inside a building. Likewise, it is unrealistic to require at least 2 people to be carrying out the delivery, ome to take the goods inside to the customer and a second to "stand guard" at the vehicle. In simple terms, either unloading is allowed or it is not. If you were unloading, then the council cannot stipulate specifically how they will deem that unloading to be physically carried out. -
The SORN status isn't a transferable declaration. i.e. as soon as the RK sold the car, his SORN declaration ceased. You, as the new RK were required to either tax the car immediately or declare a new status of SORN in your name.

can you tell us the location so we can see it on google maps

As the previous keeper is a friend and I am sure you don't want to get her into unnecessary trouble. First thing you need to do is make sure she has appealled the PCN by notifiying the council she was not the current keeper at the time of the offence. As G&M has pointing out, currently the PCN is nothing to do with you and everything to do with your friend.She must appeal it as denoted on the PCN, she cannot simply pass it on to you.
-
Quite right. And in fact I think you can change their poll about "should PCNs be increased" to "should turkeys vote for Christmas". Why are an "independant" body feeling they have a need to ask the people who pay for PCNs if the cost should go up when the setting of such penalties has sod all to do with tehm anyway.
-
Yes, but as it is the BPA asking, then it is extremely likely that they are referring to Parking Charge Notices, not council PCNs which are cost controlled by government. In which case, they should not be referring to them as PCNs or Penalty CHarge Notices.
