Contravention 26 for being parked 50cm from edge of carriageway?
DIR By: sometimeslucky7

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi all,
I received a ticket for allegedly being parked 50cm away from
the line.
I’m exhausted as I received another ticket last week for being
in a yellow box junction because the driver ahead of me suddenly
switched lane, so I’m not trying to be out of pocket for £160
🥲
Council is Greenwich and PCN no. is GR11682123
Reg SB10YLN
Do I have any grounds to appeal?

Could be marginal or not 50cm.
Why did you park there and like this.

Was this PCN served on car or sent by post?
If on car, please post both sides (unredacted) here; if postal
all sides of the PCN, redacting only yr name & address. Please
also post any Council photos and a GSV link to the location.

There was no other parking on the street, it always gets like
this on a Friday. Car park just next door was completely full
also. I was supposed to get back in my car later that evening
but didn’t end up doing so, so I left my car there.
The ticket was issued on the Saturday and it looks like there’s
a load of space behind and I purposely left a big gap, however
there was actually a different car parked directly behind me to
which I parked much closer.

Greenwich currently loses a lot of tribunal cases because it
doesn't supply basic evidence so loses by default. But who knows
if they'll get their act together.

Do I have any grounds here or should I not bother to appeal and
pay? Any help would be appreciated

To me, that back wheel looks closer than 50cm from the edge of
the carriageway. As long as some part of the car is within 50cm
of the kerb, then my understanding is that it isn't a
contravention.
It definitely looks to be no more than a wheel diameter, and I
would estimate yours are about 40cm?
Ps do you want us to look at the box junction PCN too? They are
often beatable even if you did stop within the box.
