guys - thank you all for your responses. I've already lodged my appeal by e-mail and by post to be sure. I'll wait and see what happens and will keep you posted. Have a good Christmas all if I don't get any response before then and Happy New Year!

Thanks for the quick reply sailor sam. One more question - if I appeal now, do I lose the 50% early payment offer because it passes the 2 week offer period? I think the answer is no I don't lose the offer, but I just want to be sure.

Hi all, I need your urgent advice. I performed a right turn at a point of the road where it turns out I wasn't allowed to. The big grievance I have about this is that I actually looked carefully before making the right turn to see if there were any signs and I couldn't see any! In the absence of any signs I assumed it was OK to take a right turn. Few days later I received a PCN from Transport for London alleging a 50R contravention. I went on Google Maps to see if there were any signs that I could have missed. After a few minutes of looking on Google Maps Street View I managed to spot a No-Right-Turn sign on the left hand-side of the road. This sign must have been concealed by a bus or another tall vehicle, as I could swear I looked around very carefully! And I have to admit, this sign is placed somewhere I would have least likely expected it! Have a look on the Google Maps here: http://goo.gl/maps/LEyUu (bear in mind, I was in the right lane) Below is the PCN I received (with personal details hidden). You'll note that the date of the letter is 4 Dec which means I only really have 1 day left to either pay the discounted £65 fine or lodge representation. So your early response on this is very much appreciated. Another question while at it: if I make a representation, does this mean I lose the right to pay the discounted £65 penalty should my representation not be upheld eventually?
