Hounslow Council - PCN 50R Performing Prohibited Right Turn
LAURENCE ROAD J/W PRINCE REGENT ROAD

Hi All,
I received a PCN for performing a prohibited right turn from
Laurence Road into Prince Regent Road in Hounslow. I missed the
signage and followed google navigation blindly. Google maps
still shows a right turn if navigation is switched on, I have
reported it to google now.
Asking the query here to understand if there is a way to appeal
the PCN and what can be the grounds to appeal?

- VRM RX69XJE
- Street LAURENCE ROAD J/W PRINCE REGENT ROAD
- Offence Code 50R OffencePerforming a prohibited turn
Thanks

Following a satnav without looking out for signs, or seeing them
and then ignoring them and continuing with the satnav
instructions, gets people a lot of PCNs in London. Satnavs are
almost never up-to-date. The GSV view showing the road layout
shows the council have gone the extra mile to make it obvious
the only turn allowed is to the left. So I cannot see any
credible appeal argument for the contravention itself.
There may, however, be a 'technical' appeal based on council
mismanagement of the enforcement process. In addition, PCNs can
contain errors of content that render them void, although tba, I
cannot see any such errors.
So wait a bit to see what the others say, but don't miss the
payment or appeal deadline on the PCN.

Thanks. Lesson learned for not following satnav blindly. First
time driving in London. I was thinking on putting an appeal
before the discounted price end date. That should stop the clock
and hope for council to waive off the charge.
Is there any sample appeal that I can refer to. And can I
mention the satnav point in my appeal?
Regards
