       New driver and PCN

       Hi,
       My wife got her licence recently and have been started driving
       by herself with P sign on the car, from last week she has been
       dropping our kids off to school but what she didn't know that
       she went into pedestrian zone which was during school timings.
       This week we got 4 PCN on same route, maybe 2 more on the way.
       Is there any chance to pay just one PCN and claim off others on
       the bases of new driver or something else ?
       Council: Barking and Dagenham
       Regards

       For meaningful advice please to have a read of
  HTML https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/read-this-first-before-posting-your-case!-this-section-is-for-council-tfl-dartme/
       and post here all sides of the first PCN, redacting only yr name
       & address, together with a GSV link to the location.
       If no other fault is found with the PCN or signage, it may be
       possible to plead she stopped using the prohibited route as soon
       as the first PCNs arrived, and offer to pay the 1st and ask for
       the subsequent PCNs to be cancelled as continuing
       contraventions.
       Any possible reasons for not seeing the signs?

       Please post a GSV view of the approach to the signs, (asssuming
       GSV is sufficiently up-to-date to show them.) and update your
       thread as per the instructions above.
       The approach suggested by John UK is probably the most likely to
       get all of the PCNs bar the first, cancelled. Essentially, you
       admit error, and submit reps based on mitigation. Being unaware
       of the restriction until the first PCN arrived needs
       emphasising.  Your reps would need to emphasise being a new "P"
       driver and unfamiliarity with signs at this early stage of
       motoring career. This approach would hopefully restrict your
       liability to the discount (£65). No guarantees, though.
       The alternative approach is to go in heavy on bad signage,
       (assuming we agree it's bad), but then your liability would be a
       lot more.
       However, without more info. we're in the dark, basically.
