Hi,
I've been sent a PCN for 38JL - "Failing to comply with a sign indicating that vehicular traffic must pass to the specified side of the sign".
Here is a copy of the PCN:

I drove around it because I wasn't sure if I was going to fit.
After searching online, I was correct in my original assumption.
This is my vehicle specifications:

Specifically, the width of my car (not including mirrors) is 2008mm.
This translates to 79 inches.
The sign on that road said 6 foot 6 inches:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Islingt...33;4d-0.1049534
This translates to 78 inches.
Had I tried to drive through that, I would have damaged my car.
My car is a normal road legal car (under 3 tonnes), not a truck. There were vehicles behind me so I wasn't able to back out.
Would I have any arguments to say that I had no other choice but to drive through the other side?
Thanks in advance!
