I wish to challenge this Penalty Charge Notice. I was not parked
as alleged. At the time of the alleged contravention I remained
in the driver's seat throughout and was attempting to leave the
area following the heavy traffic caused by an event at Wembley
Stadium. Traffic was extremely congested, and any brief period
during which my vehicle was stationary was solely due to the
traffic conditions, not because I had chosen to park. As soon as
traffic allowed, I continued driving away. The Civil Enforcement
Officer was unable to serve the PCN because my vehicle was
already moving away. I respectfully ask the Council to exercise
its discretion and cancel the PCN, as there was no deliberate
parking contravention and any brief stop was unavoidable due to
the exceptional traffic conditions.
please can you advise guys what else to add to this challenge
many thanks

The contravention is footway parking and the pictures do seem to
show this...
What were you doing off the carriageway?

Looks like you drove down the kerb to try and avoid traffic and
had to stop. Can't see any defence here.

I wasn't trying to avoid traffic. I'm a licensed PCO driver and
had just dropped off a passenger. I pulled over briefly because
I was checking my navigation before continuing my journey. The
vehicle was stationary for only a very short time and there was
no intention to park.
I'm aware the photos appear to show the vehicle on the footway,
but I'm looking for advice on whether there are any procedural
issues with the PCN or whether the evidence establishes the
contravention, rather than debating my intentions.

The plain fact is that you waited for a short time off the
carriageway, as the photos show. This has been an offence in
London since the 70s and is very difficult to refute. Being a
PHV is not an reason for cancellation of the PCN.
