       Contravention Code 31 - yellow box

       Hello,
       I require your help in a case against a recent PCN.
       Allegation : Contravention Code 31. The driver was turning left,
       and was stationary in a yellow-box.
       The PCN delivered to the address and attached makes clear a
       charge of £160 but halved if paid within 28 days else £240 (50%
       increase). The wording is not the clearest, it could easily mean
       a person sends a £160 cheque as payment as the £80 reduced fine
       is not as explicitly spelt out. That currently, is my best
       defence (not the greatest!)
       I have tried ringing them for video but gave up on the wait time
       but will try again today.
       Any advice/help on the argument to contest?

       Can't really give any meaningful advice unless we see the video.
       However your comment about the discounted amount not being
       explicitly stated is a non-runner. Here is the relevant clause
       in the LLA & TFL Act 2003 : -
       --- Quote ---
       > (8)A penalty charge notice under this section must—
       > (a)state—
       > (i)the grounds on which the council or, as the case may be,
       Transport for London believe that the penalty charge is payable
       with respect to the vehicle;
       > (ii)the amount of the penalty charge which is payable;
       > (iii)that the penalty charge must be paid before the end of
       the period of 28 days beginning with the date of the notice;
       > (iv)that if the penalty charge is paid before the end of the
       period of 14 days beginning with the date of the notice, the
       amount of the penalty charge will be reduced by the specified
       proportion;
       > (v)that, if the penalty charge is not paid before the end of
       the 28 day period, an increased charge may be payable;
       > (vi)the amount of the increased charge;
       > (vii)the address to which payment of the penalty charge must
       be sent; and
       > (viii)that the person on whom the notice is served may be
       entitled to make representations under paragraph 1 of Schedule 1
       to this Act; and
       > (b)specify the form in which any such representations are to
       be made.

       You really must call and get the video, no meaningful or
       reliable advice can be given on a yellow box junction case
       without this.
