Hello Foccer's, got an e-mail today regarding a PCN and have no idea what I've supposed to have done. Can anyone shed any light on this for me ?
DATE OF NOTICE 16/4/14
DATE OF CONTRAVENTION 11/3/14
YOU ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR DEALING WITH THIS NOTICE DO NOT PASS THIS ON TO THE DRIVER
THE COUNCIL BELIEVES THAT YOU ARE LIABLE TO PAY A PENALTY CHARGE WITH RESPECT TO THE ABOVE VEHICLE, FOR THE FOLLOWING ALLEGED CONTRAVENTION.
38JL FAILING TO COMPLY WITH A SIGN INDICATING THAT VEHICULAR TRAFFIC MUST PASS TO THE SPECIFIED SIDE OF THE SIGN.
IN ENFIELD ROAD N1 ON 11/3/14 AT 00.09.
Now I have no idea what this means or whether the notice was issued over the set limit of time after the bullshit sounding offence.
Can anyone help ?
Chances are you went around a bollard on the right when it specified left only or something like that and the council had a camera watching the road. Look for video evidence of the alleged offence.
I know what you are thinking , how the foc does an Irish Cork foccer know this?
because it happened to a friend of a friend in north London some time ago during the high winds. He went around a bollard with a blue arrow indicating left on the right because there was debris blown onto the road. The video showed he had no choice, but to go around it on the wrong side and they dropped it.
Another way of making money for the poor cash strapped councils and it appears there is no real time limit
just like parking tickets.
There appears to be a lot of controversy about it with people claiming it is entrapment.
