  1. As the notice to owner was sent to you within the required time limit, you are not able to challenge the ticket on the basis of it being issued outside of the time limit. However, you may have grounds to appeal the ticket if you believe that you were not parked on a dropped curb at the time the ticket was issued, or if you were not the driver of the vehicle at the time. If you do decide to appeal the ticket, you should do so as soon as possible and provide any evidence you have to support your case, such as photographs or witness statements. You can find information on how to appeal the ticket on the council's website or on the notice to owner that you received.
  2. Based on the information provided, it seems that your partner may have some arguments to make against being 100% at fault for the collision. The fact that the Ford slammed on its brakes to let the Audi out and that the Peugeot forced your partner to come off the accelerator could be seen as contributing factors to the collision. However, it will ultimately be up to your partner's insurance company and the police to determine fault based on the available evidence, including any video and witness statements. Regarding civil action against the Ford for becoming an obstruction in a live lane, it may be possible to make a claim for contributory negligence if it can be shown that their actions contributed to the collision. However, this would likely depend on the specific circumstances and would need to be evaluated by a legal professional. It's important for your partner to fully cooperate with their insurance company and provide all available evidence to support their case. If they disagree with the determination of fault, they may be able to appeal the decision or seek legal advice.
  3. It is important to report any collision to your insurance company as soon as possible, as failure to do so can result in penalties and fees. In this case, it seems that you did not report the collision in time and as a result, your insurance company is charging you an additional fee. However, the additional fee seems quite high, and you may want to consider contacting your insurance company to discuss this further. You could ask for a breakdown of the fees and why they are so high, and try to negotiate a lower fee if possible. It is also worth shopping around for other insurance quotes to see if you can find a better deal. Be sure to disclose your previous collision and any other relevant information when obtaining quotes. Ultimately, it is important to be responsible and timely when reporting any incidents to your insurance company, as it can affect your premiums and coverage in the future.
  4. I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It can be challenging to find affordable car insurance after a conviction, but there are a few things you can try: Shop around: You may be able to find a more affordable policy by comparing quotes from multiple insurers. Be honest about your conviction when you're getting quotes, as failing to disclose it could result in your policy being invalidated later on. Consider specialist insurers: There are some insurers that specialize in providing coverage for drivers with convictions. They may be able to offer more competitive rates than mainstream insurers. Improve your driving record: While it won't erase your conviction, improving your driving record can help you secure better rates in the future. This could include taking a defensive driving course or committing to driving more safely. Opt for a higher excess: Choosing a higher excess (the amount you pay towards any claims) can lower your premiums. However, be aware that you'll need to pay more out of pocket if you do need to make a claim. Ask for help: If you're really struggling to find affordable insurance, you may be able to get help from organizations such as the Citizens Advice Bureau or a charity that supports people with convictions. Remember to be honest and upfront about your conviction when applying for insurance, as failing to disclose it could result in your policy being invalidated later on. Good luck!
  5. It sounds like you received a notice of intended prosecution for exceeding the speed limit on the A40 Westway in West London. The notice indicates that your average recorded speed was 35.3mph, which is just above the threshold for enforcement. If you believe that you were driving within the speed limit and that the notice is incorrect, you may be able to challenge it in court. However, if you were driving over the speed limit, it's unlikely that you'll be successful in challenging the notice. Assuming that you were driving over the speed limit, you have a few options. You can choose to pay the fine and take the speed awareness course if it's offered. The speed awareness course is a way for drivers to learn about the dangers of speeding and how to avoid it in the future, rather than receiving penalty points on their license. Alternatively, you can choose to contest the notice in court. However, this can be a time-consuming and costly process, and there's no guarantee of success. If you do choose to contest the notice, it's important to seek legal advice and to have a strong case with evidence to support your defence. In any case, it's important to take responsibility for your actions and to consider the potential consequences of speeding, including the risk of accidents and the impact on other road users.
  6. Typically, it would be the responsibility of the owner of the vehicle to arrange for transportation of the car from its current location to a desired location. However, it may be worth checking your insurance policy to see if it includes any provisions for transportation of the car after it has been recovered. Additionally, you may be able to negotiate with your insurance company to cover the cost of transportation as part of your settlement. It's best to contact your insurance company and ask them what options are available to you.
  7. Hi! If the case goes to court, the outcome will indeed depend on who the judge believes. However, there are some things you can do to help your case as the innocent party. First, you can gather and present as much evidence as possible, such as the Police Report, photos, and any other documentation related to the incident. This will help you establish a clear timeline of events and show that you were not at fault. Second, you can try to find any witnesses who may have seen the incident. Even if there were no witnesses at the time, you can ask around your rural village to see if anyone saw anything or heard anything about the incident. Finally, you can consider hiring your own lawyer to represent you in the case, rather than relying solely on the lawyers appointed by your insurance company. A lawyer who is solely focused on your best interests may be more effective in arguing your case and presenting your evidence. It's understandable that you have little faith in the lawyers appointed by your insurance company, as they may be more focused on settling the case quickly and cost-effectively rather than fighting for your rights as the innocent party. Consider reaching out to a lawyer for advice on how to proceed with your case.
  8. Hi! Based on the events you described, it seems that your partner may have a case for arguing that she wasn't fully at fault. The fact that she was maintaining a safe distance and immediately braked when the car in front of her did supports this argument. Additionally, if there is a witness who can corroborate this, that would be helpful. Regarding the police report, it's important to note that the police report is not necessarily the final determination of fault. Insurance companies will conduct their own investigations and make their own determinations of fault based on the evidence presented. As for civil action against the car that slammed on its brakes, that may be a possibility, but it would depend on the specific circumstances and any relevant laws in your area. It's possible that the car could be found liable for causing an obstruction in a live lane, but this would need to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In any case, it's important for your partner to speak with her insurance company and provide them with all the relevant information and evidence. The insurance company will make a determination of fault and handle any claims or legal action as necessary.
  9. The specifics of signage and contract formation would depend on the specific legal jurisdiction and case law. Generally, a parking contract is considered to be formed when a driver enters a car park and parks their vehicle in accordance with the terms and conditions of parking, which are usually displayed on signs within the car park. The requirement for signage at the entrance and exit, as well as the language used, would also depend on local laws and regulations. If the signs are not clear or are in a language not understood by the driver, it could potentially be argued that the contract was not formed, or that the terms and conditions were not effectively communicated to the driver. It is important to note that each case is unique and the outcome may vary depending on the specifics of the case. I would suggest consulting with a legal professional for a more comprehensive assessment of your situation.
