Thanks both. How long would that be, G&M? Can you point me towards any regs or whatever? I don't want to start a crusade here, but I'm happy to challenge them if it's a black-and-white case. I couldn't tell from other posts whether the time on [parking] tickets was of the essence - you're saying it definitely is here, right? Only discovered the site this morning; so satisfying to see the b*ggers being knocked into line. I'm tempted to go and pick up a ticket from a private firm just to waste their time challenging it...

Hi. I've just received a PCN from Tower Hamlets stating that my wife was driving: In XXX road On 11/09/08 At 11:09:00. 1) they appear to have repeated the date 11/09 in the time field. Had she been driving in the bus lane at 11.09 she would not have been committing an offence (It's a 7-10, 4-7 lane). 2) they have dated the notice 26.09.08 for a contravention date of 11.09.08. There is a photo of my car, with a camera overlay showing a time of 17.24.04, but who know's what time she was there (turning left, not jumping the queue, incidentally...) Any chance we can save £60/120? Thanks a lot!
