       this aren't won by challenging the adequacy of the signage.

       As a professional litigator my view is that I don't really care:
       we have to advise motorists based on the law as it is, and in
       particular the law as applied and interpreted by the tribunals.
       If you think the tribunal is getting it wrong, the remedies are
       either a judicial review, or lobby Parliament / the Secretary of
       State to amend the regulations.
       Sorry if this appears to be a very harsh answer, but we could
       spend all night debating the rights and wrongs as to why things
       are decided the way they are, but none of us would really
       benefit from that and none of us are getting any younger.

       Perhaps the solution does lie in lobbying politicians and DfT.

       there won't be the income from so many PCNs).
