Hi guys,
I received a PCN in the post from Havering Council in Essex earlier today. It was served because I turned right into Romford town hall off the main road failing to see the 'no right turn' sign. They have misspelt my last name. Does this carry any weight if I contest? or should I just pay up? Thanks. This post has been edited by Bigred247: Fri, 14 Feb 2020 - 15:52 |

It is your duty to notify DVLA of any errors. |

Thanks for the quick responses guys. It seems that the records at DVLA are incorrect so they will update them and send me a new V5.
I'm going to have to take the sucker punch and pay the fine. This post has been edited by Bigred247: Fri, 14 Feb 2020 - 16:56 |

QUOTE I'm going to have to take the sucker punch and pay the fine. Before you do so you could post all sides of the PCN here so the experts can check for errors, as long as you do not miss deadlines. |

Did you know it was a No Right Turn or is there confusing signage or stupid placement of it ?

There were a couple of signs but I just didn't notice them.... they were on the left side of the road whilst I was turning right... so i didn't even bother checking.....
this is the first sign https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-88AC4tOW...zdVzAj8JtCsZXsF and this is where i took the right https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bnL3R3-c7...4phomU2IWr7zu4d in fact, the first image above is for entry into another location... so you can ignore this....... the second image is the one where i took the turn.... and you can see the CCTV on the left-hand side also. You need to obtain the video and post a link here I don't have a video but have the photos from the councils website - see below: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1K5i6_aXKb...kHJnpqcLa6RyRmU https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UMLpdbTRw...3uZm6RA8b4bQ0wP |

The last paragraph of page 2 shortens the date by which you can make representations by two days payment must be made by date of notice but representations need be made by date of service (2 working days after posting) In doing this they also bring forward for the same reason the date by which they may serve a charge certificate
For Havering that is a B- they are improving -------------------- All advice is given freely. It is given without guarantee and responsibility for its use rests with the user

I have attached the images of the PCN below. Great to get hear some expert feedback ;o) As PMB alluded, it's flawed. When you say it is flawed, can you explain a bit further? Do you mean i may have grounds to contest the PCN? QUOTE I don't have a video but have the photos from the councils website - see below: Instructions for accessing video are on PCN. You should be able to save it to your device and then post on youtube or similar I did check the www.havering.gov.uk/pcn site again and there is no video. They only have 2 photos which I posted yesterday. Further, the web code number noted on the second page isn't required (not requested on the website). Instead, it requires the PCN number and vehicle reg. Did you know it was a No Right Turn or is there confusing signage or stupid placement of it ? Based on the photos of the 'no right turn' sign I posted yesterday, could these be classed as bad placement and be a reason for contesting? I have posted a link to the no right turn again (below) for your reference. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bnL3R3-c7...4phomU2IWr7zu4d This post has been edited by Bigred247: Sat, 15 Feb 2020 - 10:43 |

BTW, by obtaining the video, what is the objective here? Am I looking for something in particular in the footage which can be used for challenging the fine?

In moving traffic offences, the video is the evidence of the contravention, which it must show. So if they can't supply the video or if the video does not show the entire incident, this could be grounds for a successful challenge irrespective of the photographic evidence?

If they can't supply the video to the adjudicators. Also if the PCN says you can view it at one of their offices, and they can't show it you can use that in your appeal. |
