  1. Oh dear. In that case, I must decide whether I should beg steal and borrow to pay £65 within the next few days or hope that the appeal will be scheduled to be heard after Christmas, by which time I'd have saved £130.
  2. Oh ok. Wasn't sure about all the technical details. I think I might chance it with the "de minimis" and keep my fingers crossed that the adjudicator will take into account my clean licence of 23 years, if I don't manage to find the £65 in the next few days, or that even if he finds against me, I'll be able to set up a payment plan for it then. Thank you for your time and answer.
  3. No, no not all. That's not what I'm saying. I *did* have to break suddenly but I understand now that this is not a defence when it comes to the rules on this issue and that it was indeed because I chanced it. I know it's hard to believe but it's never happened to me before (the having to break suddenly *within* a box) because, either through luck or whatever else, I judged the traffic correctly. Anyway, I'm not saying I'm not in the wrong when it comes to the rules/law. I just wanted to check if there's a loophole I could use on this occassion only because money is super tight this month and I have to pay them the £65 in 10 days. That's all.
  4. On the first point, yes, but I now know that the "traffic building up beyond my control after I entered the box" is not an acceptable defence due to the rules. Re second point, well I *did* have to break suddenly, otherwise I'd have hit the black car in front of me. I understand now that this is not "defence enough" on the contravention. Re loophole on pics/video: I read in another post somewhere (not sure it was here or someplace else) that your reg must be clearly seen in the pics/videos at the *time* it's committing the offence ("captured live" I think it was the expression used) and that it's not permitted for someone to go over the footage in order to zoom in your number plate. So, what I'm saying is: from the pics/video (except the really dark pic that's zooming on my reg only), you *cannot* see the reg of my car. Hence why the pic zoomed on my reg doesn't show the full car *actually commiting* the offence. They're trying to *infer* that it's my car. (*I* know it is, but don't they have to prove the offence actually being committed by *my* car with pics that show the full car/position *and* reg? aka, not just a random zoomed in pic that could've been anywhere, hence the argument about "not being allowed to go over footage in order to capture offence/details"). Thanks for your time in answering btw ☺ P.S. Found the bit about the live footage thing. It's "point 20" in this page: http://www.appealnow.com/parking-tickets/yellow-box-junctions/
  5. Hello and thanks for your answer. My car is the dark grey in the right lane, at the back of the first black one and in front of the other black one (that stopped right in the middle of the box and then moved to the left lane). It was my rear 2 wheels that stayed in the box, as I had to break suddenly. I said in my appeal that the traffic was freeflowing and it was only after I'd entered the box that something happened ahead, hence why I had to stop suddenly in order to avoid causing an accident. I think I won't be able to contest it on the law/highway code. Hence why I'm asking whether the issue of the recording/photos of the reg, is something I could use instead. I normally wouldn't bother contesting it but I've been driving on this road frequently for the last 20 years and this is the first time this has happened to me and it was genuinely because I had to break suddenly. If the traffic is stationary, I wait by the traffic lights *before* I enter the box. Do I have grounds to contest it on anything?

  7. Hello all. Newbie here and needing your help. I went through some of the older topics but couldn't find an answer. Got PCN, I appealed it stupidly *without* checking the law wording and/or websites like this one first. My appeal was that I thought I could clear the junction but something happened *after* I entered which caused me to stop. They rejected it saying that "the law says there must be enough space for you to clear before you enter". After reading quite a few posts on quite a few websites, I think that my appeal should've been on the grounds of "the offence being recorded live, i.e. someone not going back over the video" and/or due to the fact that the pic/s showing the contravention don't show my reg no or the full car actually commiting the offence. My car reg can only be seen in the blacked photo. Do you think I can take this to the adjudicator with any chance of success? video is here remove the ... ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=YP2sL4cEgjY&feature=emb_logo pix.pdf
