Please HELP with appeal for "Entering and stopping in a box"

[karld]

Hi, I received a Penalty Charge Notice yesterday (13/09) for Entering and stopping in a box junction when prohibited...

 

It occurred in : BOX JUNCTION - NEW KINGS RD J?W BAGLEYS LANE

Date: 08/09/12 @12:17

 

I have pictures but can't add any

 

I feel this is unfair as

 

I entered the junction with moving traffic.

 

The cars in front of me entered the junction just in front of me and were moving.

 

At the point of entering the junction all the traffic ahead of me seemed to be moving

 

I had not reason to believe it would stop.

 

The next traffic light it very close after this one and

 

when turning red quickly caused the traffic to back up.

 

The light of my junction was and remained green throughout and I believe I exited the junction while the traffic light was still green.

 

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

you should not be entering the box unless the box and your exit are clear for the length of your vehicle I think.

 

following 'sheep' is I think no excuse.

 

might be an idea to put up the google street view link to the junction too

 

if you wish to post the photo's

 

follow this:

 

in a new msg box

hit go advanced below the msg box

hit manage attachments below that box

hit the add files button on the top right

hit select files, navigate to your file on your pc

hit upload files

As this is a yellow box violation, should't this be in the Local Authority section of the forum ?

[karld]

Sorry MaisyMouse if this is the wrong forum. I will move it now. Please make any future posts on this thread in the forum Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences.

PS dx100uk, thanks for the hint on adding pictures, unfortunately it does not allow me to as I am too new here (need 10 posts)

Thanks both,

Karl

Hi renegadeimp, unfortunately I can't include links or photos (I tried linking from dropbox). until I have 10 posts... So if I keep replying to your posts, then I might get there sooner rather than later .

Hi, I previously posted this in the wrong forum (in Speeding and Motoring Offences) and it was suggested that it is better suited to this forum. Sorry for the double posts. Please reply on this thread.

This box junction is notorious if you google it you will find lots of advice and complaints (there was even a tv show on it). There is nothing much else to add to what's already been discussed.

Two threads moved & merged.

You will have to pay this and appeal to the adjudicator otherwise the cost goes up....This is council

[Jamberson]

Pay and appeal at the same time? Sounds contradictory to me.
