PCN BY BRIGHTON COUNCIL FOR PARKING/stopping? IN DISABLED BAY

Good afternoon,
We have another PCN which I had missed the 14 day discounted
payment period...
I did a brief stop, no more than 30 seconds on Edburton Avenue.
This road was busy with two rows of cars parking on the street
and I stopped in the corner between Edburton Avenue and
Grantham as there was a van coming towards me from Grantham, I
briefly stopped there to allow the yellow van to drive past and
then another black car came behind. I saw the traffic warden
taking a picture of me, but I thought he wasn't servious, but
rather a act of threat or attitude. My phone was nearby, I took
some photos of the van and black car running past. Then the next
day, I got the PCN. Apparently, where I stopped was a disabled
bay. However, I never got off the car and certainly did not want
to park there, and I only occupied half of the disabled space to
allow the oncoming vehicles to drive past. It would be too
difficult to maneuver if I did not stop and give way. I am
afraid that I can't upload more pictures as Imgpile seems to
have set a limit ...The pictures that are missing here is photo
evidence posted by Brighton council. These can be found on
HTML https://brighton-hove.tarantoportal.com/PCNs/Ticket/EvidenceImage/Next.<br
/>Their evidence shows a picture of my car, and the vacant
disable
bay and a post. I am wondering how we define parking and
stopping. In my mind, I only stopped, not parking there. Could
anyone give me some guidance on how to challenge this, if
possible? Your help will be highly appreciated!!

Good evening,
I don't have much experence dealing with PCN from council,
although I understand it is a compoletely different game
comparing with Private Parking Company's PCNs.
May I ask if it is worthy challenging this PCN? I understand
from another topic, that CEO's notes are more trustworthy?
Many thanks in advance!

You state you were stopped "in traffic" giving way to vehicles
approaching in the other direction, correct ?
In which case the PCN is totally flawed and you should submit
reps on the above basis. This CEO is in serious need of
retraining, or, preferably, dismissal.

Looks like it's just before this bend in the road.
