Incorrectly identified as driver - POPLA rejection Options

[Planner_21]

Having had to defend a second parking ticket from ukpc in as many months, I submitted the appeal with neutral language and never received the NTK.

As such when ukpc rejected my appeal, when I moved onto the popla stage I invoked POFA 2012.

For this, their rejection said:

"The conditions within POFA 2012 would only be applicable if the operator was attempting to transfer liability of the PCN from the driver to the keeper. However, I am satisfied that the appellant has identified himself as the driver".

My original wording said to UKPC "The alleged contravention did not occur. The vehicle was not parked inappropriately at the time the ticket was issued. This is due to the fact I have a ticket for the period in question. Please see attached evidence of the parking ticket as proof of this claim.

Nonetheless, i wasn't the driver. So should i pay up their £100 or wait for them to take me to court? As i wasn't the driver what's my legal position?

That phrase is misinterpreted a lot more often than it's used correctly
How can the failure of a rule prove that it's correct ?

The word "prove" means "test" as in proof testing a crane or pressure vessel
Subjecting it to a load that exceeds what it will experience in service and checking that it's undamaged

It's the (apparent) exception that tests the rule

It is an idiom. It is the rarity of the exception that "proves" the existence of the rule. It is not meant to be taken literally, Redivi (btw, what was your old name, and why did you change it?)...
