Stopping on Zigzag lines, 4 PCNs in a week

[jackass1978]

I usually go to drop the Mrs. off to work in the morning and pick her up in the evening, have been doing so for the past 4 months or so, at the exact same place. Last week i recieved a PCN saying that I had stopped on a pedestrian crossing marked by zigzags and hence the fine. I paid up realising that I had been making a mistake and have since stopped dropping the mrs off at that place. However, I recieved another PCN in the mail same offence, and on inquiring it so happens i have 2 more coming in the next few days. Are there any chances of getting of this one? or will i have to pay it all up? 240 quids in a week is quiet a sting!

Would appreciate any comments or/and advice/help recieved from you all.

thanks

 

P.S. is this offense endorsable on the license?

As far as I am aware, you cannot get a PCN for stopping within the zig-zag markings of a pedestrian crossing unless in a London Borough

 

You can only get a FPN from a policeman, police traffic warden or PCSO (if authorised). An FPN can only be challenged in a Magistrates' Court.

 

If an FPN is endorsable, then you will have to had to surrender your licence when you paid.

sorry, forgot to mention it. The borough is London borough of Barking and Dagenham. And the PCN was issued on the basis of a CCTV operator watching real time pictures of a roadside camera.

Have they all been sent out within 28 days of the alleged contravention?

[jackass1978]

yes they have been.

£240 is not a sting you commited the same offence/contravention 4 times in one week. What would you expect some kind of amnesty after the first one because you didn't bother to learn your highway code before driving on the highway? You are lucky it wasn't a Police officer who saw you or you would be walking to work once all the points where totted up.
