       Hownslow PCN - no motor vehicles- 2 minutes
   DIR By: The Rookie

       So the eldest has a PCN from Hownslow, went through a no motor
       vehicle restriction 2 minutes after it started (08:02, from
       08:00) car has a manually set clock and he is sure it read 07:58
       as he approached.
       Will they offer discretion for 2m, any de minimis argument?
       He’s a vet nurse and rushing urgent meds at the time otherwise
       he wouldn’t normally take the risk.

       @Rookie
       2 minutes might be touch and go. I've attached the precedent
       case.

       2 minutes is obviously a de minimis argument, and this has
       succeeded in the past, but by its nature, is subjective. However
       no harm in trying, and there are successful appeals on this.

       Date of contravention: 16 March;
       Date PCN issued: 18 April, deemed served Mon. 22 Apr.
       Elapsed period contravention-service = 37 days.
       6Limitation on service of penalty charge notice
       (1)Subject to the provisions of this section, no penalty charge
       notice may be served under this Act after the expiry of the
       period of 28 days beginning with the date on which the alleged
       contravention or failure to comply occurred.
       IMO, on the face of it the PCN is void by virtue of being served
       outside the permitted period.
       OP, is there more to this e.g. vehicle is hired/leased etc?

       No he’s the RK, as it’s at our address (he was moving about a
       bit with his job) and we have the V5c here and have had 2 tax
       reminders and 2 previous PCN (both successfully contested)all
       served in time.

       Served Out-of-Time means they cannot enforce it. So submit reps
       on this basis.

       OK,thanks will do, I’ll probably add the de minimis as well just
       so they can use that as an excuse to cancel (councils not liking
       to admit mistakes).

       Well the plot thickens, we can’t appeal this online as it claims
       an enforcement notice has been issued despite being well within
       the 28days from the date of receipt of the PCN, so will be
       appealing by post and adding that as an extra appeal point.

       I would recommend you make the representation again via the
       website, and save a screenshot of the confirmation page.

       That button wouldn’t work for me, not sure why, postal appeal
       submitted.
       Box also states charge certificate issued.
