PCN 62 for parking on own driveway

[kasiah72]

I parked a van borrwed from my brother in law for quite some time when finally, after about 3 weeks I got a PCN code 62. This is a rather small van and the driveway is a bit too short even for an estate car.

 

Is there any chance of sucessfully challenging this PCN?

I have also found info on the internet that wording "unless this PCN is challenged" can invalidate the PCN. Can anyone confirm?

Well there is little doubt that your van is partially over the footpath so I think the PCN was correctly issued i'm afraid. Can't really see any issues with the PCN itself as it's a tad small and difficult to read. Also, you should obscure any identifiable info such as the VRM of your vehicle before posting.

 

Others will no doubt comment.

Picture amended- thanks.

 

It says on the ticket that the vehicle was observed from 10:07 to 10:08. Is it long enough?

No obs period required, unless loading and that is only allowed if essential so as not to cause an obstruction and cannot be carried out elsewhere. Difficult to argue that since you're backed right up to the wall and you could have parked in the street for loading.

 

Pretty much bang to rights I'm afraid.

If you had left it parked like that on my estate, some of the lads would have come out, at closing time, and walked along the street, and over your bonnet!

Consider yourself lucky!
