Full Version: PCN (99) in a Bus stop?

Hello you lovely people! I like this forum!

Right here goes

My wife dropped me off at Feltham station and pulled up in a bus stop. Quick kiss and out of the car no more than 30 seconds. One of Hounslow councils camaras nabbed us. ( no drop off pick up point at Feltham and a camara on duty, i wonder why!)

HOWEVER, the pcn they have issued states a contravention number 99. Stopped on a pedestrian crossing or crossing area marked by zigzags

This is a run of the mill bus stop, which is clearly shown in the photo evidence. there are no dropped kerbs or zigzags.

I alight from the car at .45 seconds and am seen walking away at .56 seconds.

If we were pictured on a high street at rush hour holding up traffic, i would hold my hands up and pay. But this is 8.15 on a saturday morning with not a car in site.

What would be the best way to fight this?

thanks in advance for your help.

Unfortunately i am having trouble with my scanner atm will try and get it sorted..

If i reply as ' the alledged contravention did not occur" Could they then change the contravention to a bus stop contravention?

digital camera will do the job.


and - No, they can't

When are your 21 days up?

"For a penalty to be imposed for a parking contravention the vehicle must be stationary. If the vehicle is clearly unattended, it was stationary." So if you are walking away then it seems that's what they have spotted.

So it will be down to the signs, lines and TRO .... and as Bama says, no they can't change their minds.

No, I get out of the passenger seat and wife drives away. 30 seconds Max. Car running and wife in driver seat at all times.

The date of the notice is 01/07/11

The way i see it is they have blown it because it is a Bus Stop (clearly marked in the pics). It is not a pedestrian crossing and there is not a zigzag in sight.

Any more questions? or advise?

Pcn both sides first as the experts NEED to see the wording.This location is a bus stand although i`m not sure if that makes a difference.Several posters have been caught at this money maker but so far no one seems to have fought it.

Not at all, a slam-dunk winner "The contravention did not occur"

DITTO.

and I'm guessing the reason nobody is responding is because it is sooooo obvious we didn't feel there was anything more to say.

I thought so too, but it seemed such a pathetic mistake i thought it might be a double bluff! Thanks for your advice, i will take great pleasure in returning it to them.

One last thing. Is it wise to send the representation via recorded delivery or best to do it online?
