The whole purpose of the white zigzags is to ensure any "stopped" vehicles are far enough away from the actual crossing to allow a clear field of vision for other drivers to the pedestrians and vise-versa. The stopping within the white zigzag for any other purpose than to allow pedestrians to use the crossing is prohibited for very good safety reasons.

I have received parking ticket PCN code 12.
crem replied to kkpc0703's topic in Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences
They implied that the mitigating circumstances would be acceptable to them by virtue of the fact they requested the death certificate, otherwise they could have rejected it out of hand the first time. Why they do not appear the have a record of it when they issued the second letter is strange and perhaps is a timing issue. Either way, I would continue with the appeal as prescribed by statute. i.e. I assume the first appeal was informal, yes? If so, they should have advised you how to proceed from this point with a formal appeal, and/or appeal to PATAS. Even if you have to go to PATAS I would feel your chance of success are high as, by the councils own documents they are saying a family death is acceptable mitigation and of course the death certificate still exists which you can produce at the hearing. -
Strictly speaking you are correct in that any "road" signs aren't legally enforceable in the car park area. However, as we are all familiar with what these signs imply and they are generally placed in the interest of driver safety, only numpties would blatantly ignore them. For instance, car parks may well be laid out with a one way system using road arrow markings and "no entry" signs at the bottom of aisle ways. Only a divvy would stupid enough to perposely drive the wrong way around this "one way" system. Car parks are notorious for the number of accidental bumps that occur anyway so it is better in the interest of road safety if we all heed the "guidance" of these signs within the car park.

As this is confirmed as a council ECN now, I will suggest the site team move it to local authority section.

DVLA offence report ALLEGING my unlicenced vehicle parked on road.. PROOF?
crem replied to h00vertime's topic in DVLA
Yes you should have done something else! It is the responsibility of the current RK (you) to notify the DVLA of a change of status on the vehicle. If you sold it to a person, you give them the completed section 10 (green slip V5C/2) and send the entire remainder to the DV:LA duly completed with new keeper details. If you give/sell it to a garage or dismantler you give them the majority of the V5C and send the section 9 (yellow slip V5C/3) to the DVLA. Until the DVLA are correctly notified of this change of keeper using one of these authorised methods then I am afraid you will remain responsible for any fines the vehicle is due. -
DVLA offence report ALLEGING my unlicenced vehicle parked on road.. PROOF?
crem replied to h00vertime's topic in DVLA
Was it or wasn't it then? -
The refer to the discount period as being "10 working days". What is a working day and how shall I count them? I work every day of the 7 day week so do I count each of them or just Monday to Friday like teachers work? Then again, teachers are currently not at work due to the summer holidays so can I count 10 working days from now as starting from 5th September when the schools go back? Very ambiguous terminology and I believe appeals have been won on less.

...which I am sure you are aware BillyS is also covered by the same legislation regarding clamping. i.e. ANY method of immobilising the vehicle is illegal, this includes clamping AND obstructing the vehicle
-
Yes it is, but just as important is the confirmation that as is standard practice the discount value should be 1/2 the original starting price (50 discounts to 25 and 70 discounts to 35) and the discount period is 14 days as I suggested not 10. Something seems very odd about your ECN and unfortunately the pics you have posted are too small to read.
-
An £80 fee discounted to £50 doesn't seem right for a council ticket (it's usually 1/2 price value) and the discount period is usually 14 days, not 10. Are you really sure this was issued by a council and not a private company?

There are many of these type of companies springing up offering all sorts of services like this that essentially do nothing more than take the data you provide to them, then pass it through to the government body such as DVLA or DSA for driving tests etc. They are not, unfortunately, doing anything illegal. They are, however, a complete waste of time to use and serve no useful purpose. We, as driving instructors, and the DSA through info they release onto the web and through the driving test centres can do nothing other than give strong advice that customers should not use any third party site and go directly to the gov.uk site. https://www.gov.uk/browse/driving

I agree there looks little room for appeal against that PCN as it seems clear that you could not proceed completely through the box before you entered it. The only thing in that video that surprises me is that the operator didn't also zoom in on the silver car who also failed to judge correctly that they could clear the box.

It is standard practice that the magistrate's court is changed to the defendants local court when the claim is to be defended. There should be a section within your defence reply that asked you which court you wanted and why. (coz it's local being the obvious reply )

VT car - Car finance company
crem replied to C&D's topic in Vehicle Finance and Vehicle Repossessions
It doesn't matter whether you have actually reached the 50% value or not, as they will simply raise an invoice for the outstanding value once they agree to your request to VT. However, as the Aug 1st payment doesn't take you up to the VT value I see nothing wrong with you leaving th payment go as arranged. Usually when they acknowledge (in writing) your request to VT they will state the value owed and enclose a form for you to sign and return to "officially" progress the VT. At that point the account is effectively frozen and you can stop future direct debit payments. So the first thing to do is get the official request in to them stating you intend to VT and could they confirm what you have paid, what is owed, blah blah.... Here is one I have used for Vauxhall GM Finance I usually telephone them first and ask them for a fax number that I can send the letter to as that way I know it has arrived at their office straight away. -
.. but their use fortunately is now illegal

loooopy / pcn from Tower Hamlets CCTV camera.
crem replied to loooopy's topic in Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences
As Jamberson has pointed out, you must follow the exact procedure as laid out for appeals whether you think it is a nonsense or not. It may seem logical to simply re-supply the info they implied you should have sent the first time (i.e. log book), but if they have moved on to the next stage (PATAS) then so must you. -
I would imagine he drove in the vehicular access to the barriered off roadway then turned the car left to park next to the barrier. Whilst it still may be true that he shouldn't have parked there. I think it is a little unfair to suggest he has plowed though a pedestrianed walkway or took his car cross-country to actually arrive at his parking location.

Sounds like you have done a lot of mileage over the agreed amount in the 2 years you have had the car. Those figures would suggest you have covered around 34,000 miles, is that about right?

2 Driving offences 1 court hearing
crem replied to mrbounce's topic in Speeding and Motoring Offences
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22770064 The phone offence also carries a mandatory 3 points on your licence. -
Then that would mean the defence should be "the contravention did not occur". Provided the exit was clear when he entered, then having to stop due to oncoming traffic, or in this case, a developing hazard that occurred after he had entered the box, then he con't be guilty of not being phycic and predicting the pedestrians would odstruct his exit. Request to vies the CCTV of the incident and hopefully you should be able to substantiate the facts.

SOGA does not apply on a private sale of second hand goods in so far as provided the seller hasn't lied or mis-discribed the goods and/or known faults. As the mileage was allegedly altered several years before the OP even owned the vehicle, he cannot be held liable for not knowing this.

indicative?

Make sure they don't still have access to your credit/debit card as they may try to process a charge through without you permission. I would suggest you ring the bank straight away and tell them you have damaged your card by inadvertantly sitting on it perhaps? That way, they will cancel your current card and issue a new one with a new number.
-
I am not sure "untrustworthy" is the appropriate word here. I would view it that they think you are a higher risk because by speeding, that by definition is much more dangerous than driving within the limit and therefore you are much more likely to have an accident which would cost them money.
