       the bus stop for about 10 seconds to pick someone up but didnt
       realise i wasnt allowed/supposed to. Sorry for copying and
       pasting everything but I’m useless with computers and haven’t

       • We will consider representations made for any other compelling
       reasons.
       After we have considered your representations, we will write to
       you with our decision.
       Within the period of 56 days beginning with the date on which we
       receive your representations, we will consider them and serve a
       notice on you of our decision. If we accept your

       this notice is served, or if you have made representations
       outside that period but we have not disregarded them, and we do
       not accept those representations, you will receive a Notice of
       Rejection. You will have a period of 28 days beginning with the
       date of the service of the Notice of Rejection to either pay the
       penalty charge or to appeal against our decision to the
       independent adjudicator. The Notice of Rejection will provide
       information on how to make an appeal to the adjudicator. The
       adjudicator will then consider the case and make a decision
       based on all the evidence provided. Please note that an
       adjudicator can not allow an appeal on the basis of mitigating
       circumstances but may refer the case back to the authority for
       further consideration.
       I confirm that to the best of my knowledge the representation
       that I have made is a truthful account, and that I am aware that
       should I give false testimony, knowingly or recklessly then I am
       committing an offence. If found guilty on conviction I am liable
       to a fine.

       No chance on the contravention.
       Someone may have something on Bromley's PCN/website wordings.

       If you're doing that again it was fine to stop on double or
       single yellow lines for loading provided there are no loading
       restrictions, and boarding/alighting a passenger is an exemption
       regardless of loading status.
       Most London bus stops are no stopping clearways.
       You can of course ask for discretion.

       I genuinely didn’t even realise I couldn’t just stop for 5
       seconds to pick someone up. I only did it as he was carrying a
       few boxes etc and the best of it is that they were order or
       services and some pictures for a funeral of our cousin.
