       I have been issued a ticket for being in a Bus Lane, I stopped
       in a Bus Lane to pick up a passenger as a Private Hire Driver.
       The initial PCN was for Being in a Bus Lane.
       I appealed and explained the grounds for stopping there. This
       has been refused and states I was driving in the Bus Lane (which
       was not the case)
       Would be grateful for any support.

       [member=177]Iaali2[/member] well that was a terrible
       representation as you shouldn't have admitted to ever being in a
       bus lane in the first place.
       That being said, Waltham Forest have never been able to prove
       their CCTV camera is approved by the Secretary of State, see
       these cases:

       For now just wait for the enforcement notice and let us know
       when you've got it. Also going forwards please don't make
       representations against anything without getting advice from us
       first.

       Thanks for getting back to me.. I thought it was a straight
       forward appeal.  But noted for future reference.
       Kind Regards

       I have a case pending next month and they are not attending. I
       will draft some stronger representations later. If they do not
       attend, much to the annoyance of two adjudicators, they lose.

       I did this one and the hearing went on far too long as the
       adjudicator was not au fait with the finer detail of the law.  I
       even joked that, if the same caveat re evidence were
       incorporated into moving traffic law, a lot more appeals would
       be allowed.  para. 7(6) Schedule I:
  HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/1996/9/schedule/1/enacted
       (6)Nothing in sub-paragraph (1) or (4) above makes a document
       admissible as evidence in proceedings under paragraph 6 above
       unless a copy of it has not less than 7 days before the hearing,
       been served on the appellant; and nothing in those paragraphs
       makes a document admissible as evidence of anything other than
       the matters shown on a record produced by a prescribed device if
       that person, not less than three days before the hearing or
       within such further time as the traffic adjudicator may in
       special circumstances allow, serves a notice on the council
       requiring attendance at the hearing or trial of the person who
       signed the document.
       ****
       Currently, their witness statements do not cover even 7(2)
       because they do not name the camera:
       (2)A record produced or measurement made by a prescribed device
       shall not be admissible as evidence of a fact relevant to
       proceedings under paragraph 6 above unless—
       (a)the device is of a type approved by the Secretary of State;
       and
       (b)any conditions subject to which the approval was given are
       satisfied.

       [member=1]cp8759[/member] please feel free to tweak:
       Dear WF
       Ref PCN...........EN...........
       I make these formal representations against the Enforcement
       Notice.
       1. The video evidence does not show any bus lane warning signage
       allegedly passed.
       2. You must provide strict proof that the camera used to capture
       this alleged contravention has VCA approval for any evidence to
       be admissible at the Tribunal.
       3. The PCN does not identify with sufficient clarity where the
       said bus lane is located.
       4. I retract my previous challenge.
       In light of the above please cancel both documents.
       Yours
       Registered keeper
