Hi I don't know if you can help with this. I've just got a PCN for stopping in a loading bay at 9.25pm in a deserted street by smithfield market (I had a screaming 3 month old baby in the car and I wanted to sort him out, and it looked a safe place to stop). However someone tapped on my window to warn me there were camera's so I moved on, but I had been got by the camera. From google streetview I've taken a shot of the signage (attached) It says: Smithfield: Goods vehicle loading only (I hope this isn't out of date but don't think I'll be near that area again soon to check) PCN: 23J: Parked in a parking place or area not designated for that class of vehicle (camera enforcement) (photo of PCN with personal details removed attached) Observed from 21:25 - 21:25 I have a van derived car - citroen berlingo - I don't know if that classes as a goods vehicle (there was some mention that it might on another thread here and the signage doesn't say 'heavy goods', just goods) However, I wasn't loading. I did get out of the car and get baby out, sit back in the drivers seat w him to calm him, then got out to put him back in his car seat in the back. The PCN says I was just observed at 21.25, but I know I was probably there about 5-10 mins. I've also attached an image of the loading bay (I parked down the end of it) Are there any technicalities or mitigating circumstances that might get me off this £65? Is it worth saying I had a small baby in the car who was really crying and I needed to stop? It just seems ridiculous to be fined potentially £130 for stopping in a deserted street in a bay at 9.30pm on a thursday night. I am normally very careful but the baby was really screaming and I'd been driving for a while going past nothing but double yellow lines looking for somewhere to stop and I probably wasn't thinking quite straight. Thanks for your help - sorry if this message is a bit rambly (still suffering lack of sleep and just wanted to put everything in here you might want to know) Thanks a very broke tired mum...
