       Southwark - Code 52m // Failing to comply w/ prohibition on
       certain vehicles - Larcom Street
   DIR By: McThrowaway

       Hello, <- :D (idiot, me)
       Didn't notice the sign as my GPS directed me past this...
       Regardless, this is pretty much my fault; not purposefully, but
       my fault regardless. I have only been driving for less than half
       a year (passed test 2 years prior to that), and since I don't
       drive too regularly w/ passengers (as I did on the day), I
       suppose a mistake like this was bound to happen.
       Embedded* whatever is relevant below (hopefully correctly the
       first time round nope):

       I am curious, since this post exists: I'm suspecting I
       realistically have nothing to stand on, but would there be any
       "excuse" (i.e. first PCN, relatively "new" driver, etc.) that
       would let the council slide, or will I have to suck it up and
       "mug-up" to the council?
       Thank you for any response.
       * = Set to expire after a year (maximum; some will expire
       earlier)

       Please show all of the PCN only less personal details and I will
       deal with this for you personally.

       Ok, I (finally) added all the stuff I believe is necessary at
       the moment.
       I will add more if necessary (or also once I get a response from
       the above).

       This which they will reject:
       You cannot serve a charge certificate or increase the price to
       £240 as stated on the PCN. Therefore, please consider this
       collateral challenge and cancel the said PCN.
       Choose ground: the penalty exceeded the amount..........
       No more, no less and verbatim as I have written.
       When they respond, I will take care of this case for you.

       So I'm guessing through the link:
  HTML https://pcnevidence.southwarkparking.co.uk/pcnonline/index.php
       I write that in the box through: Representation -> The PCN
       exceeded the amount applicable -> This is a lower band
       contravention not a higher band contravention
       If not, please let me know.
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Also, sorry for my dumbassery and/or naïvety, but is there a
       reason I should do this?
       I was just wondering originally if I have any actual excuse and
       right now, I'm not exactly sure what the plan is (would help if
       I knew what was going on, lol... or (I hope) you can ask me via
       DM if it helps?

       We choose that ground as it is in lieu of procedural impropriety
       having followed several learned adjudicators' decision in this
       aspect.
       PM me a phone number please as typing is tedious and
       time-consuming when you help 20+ people a day and file 3 or 4
       appeals a day.
