Penalty Charge Notice

[WorkingMummy]

Lambeth Parking have sent me a PCN for a "moving traffic violation" - failing to drive in direction of blue arrow.

I'm going to check this out as I'm not sure they are right. They've sent a pic of me tuning right at some lights, but I know the road, and I'm pretty confident right turns are allowed.

Meanwhile, anyone know if this means points on licence? The letter doesn't mention this.

Fine is ?130, halved if I pay now.

I think you would know about it if there were points on the licence. It's just a fine I'd say.

Location?

No points just a fine

Thank you!

Check it out if your not happy. I went to kings for an appt a few weeks ago and parked in a spot I've always parked in with my Blue Badge. When I came out I had a ticket. I contested it and they cancelled it. Normally I don't follow things thru but as I knew I'd always parked there I had to look into it. There were no prohibited signs so I was determined. Good luck

Where was this WorkingMummy?

I recently received a ticket myself for parking in a loading bay. I was genuinely unloading and was less than 5 minutes (even though the time limit was 20 minutes) and was given a ticket by a 'ticket enforcement officer' who didn't want to know my explanation. I appealed the decision by making a representation on-line at the tfl website and won the appeal. So it is well worth appealing!

It was Westminster Bridge Road.

I've had a lot of success challenging parking fines. They dish them out incorrectly all the time.

But this was a fair cop. I checked on google earth. There was indeed an arrow on a small sign on a traffic bollard immediately in front of me as I turned right, telling me to keep left... So I've paid up.
