Red Route - TFL
DIR By: philou

---------------------------------------------------------
All,
A colleague of mine recently received a Red Route PCN and was
simply wondering if there is any ground for challenging it at
all please? PCN attached. I currently don't know the history
except that he was parked for more than 20 minutes. Let me know
of any questions please.
Thanks

More information is needed, like where was the vehicle parked
exactly. The PCN was served by hand, so no video. Please post a
GSV link to the exact location.
It's going to be somewhere along here, (quite a short distance),
where the red lines and a couple of Red Route bays are because
this is the A10, and is TfL controlled. Further along, Northwold
Road goes to yellow lines, and the A10 goes off right along
Rectory Road

Hi Incandescent
thanks for the note. Please see exact location where PCN was
issued:

He informed me he was in the vehicle, being stationary, for a
little over 4 mins (PCN shows time he was being observed
13:08-13:12) when PCN was still being issued. Apparently the TFL
warden "threw" the ticket at him while he was in the car?! :(

So presumably he didn't read the sign for the bay, shown in the
GSV view ?
If he wasn't loading or had no Blue Badge displayed, then the
contravention is made out. However, this may not be the end of
the game, so wait and see what the others say. I believe there
may be a "technical" defence.

Thanks once again
It would be fair to say that it would be difficult to miss the
sign, given he was in the bay. However his rationale was because
he was offloading some tiles and wouldn't take longer than the
signage's stipulated time, he thought it'd be safe.

But unloading tiles counts as loading, so submit reps on that
basis.

Thanks Incandescent,
Will get him to draft something and will post it here for review
before submission if that's ok.
Cheers

And tiles are heavy things; not things one would want to carry
any distance, so emphasise their weight.

It looks like something was already submitted on Friday, can we
see a copy please?
Here are the TFL photos:

I don't suppose he has a dashcam or any witnesses who can
confirm this? Did he open the window as he was driving off, and
crucially had the car started moving at the point where the PCN
was thrown?
The photos show that no PCN had been served and the last photo
shows the car wheels had started moving at the time when the
photo was taken, this could be important but first we need a
precise account of the sequence of events. If the car has a
dashcam with footage of the events, that's even better. The case
of Michael Boakye v London Borough of Bexley (2200234487, 7
August 2020)
HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NC8JPe0gqLeX0CXxf8MYK-yMHumOpXaf/view<br
/>illustrates the issue, but I know there is one floating around
where the PCN was actually thrown through the window and landed
in the driver's lap, that was also held not to be good service.
Lastly it seems this might have been a PCSO (as far as I can
work out the T at the end of the CEO number indicates it's a
Traffic PCSO), which opens up the uniform argument.
