Hi,
I am in need of some assistance please.
I am a full time student and funding my studies with flexible work (Private hire vehicle driver with Uber).
On 19/01/2020 at 3 pm I had a job picked up from Hounslow and drop off at Hounslow East Tube Station.
The customer had booked this job as she had difficulty walking and particularly requested if I could drop her as close as possible.
Unfortunately there isn't a suitable area immediately around Hounslow West Station where i could have dropped her and I literally had stopped on the bus stop as there was no traffic behind me (bus or other traffic).
The customer got off and I continued driving, it took rather few seconds and I didn't park or put hazard lights and it was really just few second.
Later, I received a ticket in the post, which I challenged on the basis that I am a private hire driver and that customer had difficulty walking and i literally had stopped no more than few second and pretty much continued moving without blocked or restricting any traffic as there was none behind me.
I am now in receipt of rejection of representation with the following text;
I have an option to pay £55 by the 25 March or Appeal to the Parking Adjudicator.
