Were you guilty or not? - if you were, would be less hassle just to pay it! - if you weren't guilty, then vist the peppidoo website for more detailed advice.

If you have a valid objection to the PCN, it can be worth writing to the authority concerned (or its agents). Be prepared to have to persist though. The initial response is often just an attempted brush-off. Perhaps there have to be parking laws, but many of those who enforce them are money-grubbing carphounds.

There's no need to shout djfunny. :o)

1. Any defect in the Traffic Regulation Order for the area concerned?. Copy at your LA Traffic Section. Does it cover the area involved.

2. What does it stipulate re waiting, total or partial?.

3. Do the signs conform to Traffic Signs and General Directions 2002?

4. Was the PCN affixed to your vehicle or handed to Driver - if no hasn'rt been properly issued?.

5. Has the PCN two dates on it? Date of Offence, Date of issue? If not invalid PCN.

5a. Does the PCN ID your vehicle?.

6. Was the Warden in plain clothes ? - Uniform required.

From what stated and if you DID park illegally as suggested let the moths out of the wallet before the surcharge kicks in. Almost all LA's aware of the above old get outs and more so as 31.3.08 new legislation in about parking etc and LA''s were requested to review orders and signing so that all above aboard before that date.
