PCN query

[tonyt450]

Hi all, Traffic office recieved a PCN for box junction offence and have told me I have to pay it which is fair enough but I want to dispute this and make an appeal as I feel I have good grounds for it to be cancelled.

Where do I stand on this? I know only the legal owners can make such appeal but the thought of £80 straight up really bugs me.

The internet seems to suggest the ticket would have to be in your name for you to appeal it. So it seems RM would have to inform the PCN issuing authority you were the driver for the PCN to be issued in your name at which point you could then appeal it. You'd need sound evidence for your appeal though - do you have it?

These give a bit more info/help:

Are RM going to accept the fine without informing the PCN issuing authority you were the driver but then claw back the money from you?

The Driver should be getting fined, not the company that owns the vehicle.

Which means RM should be informing that you were the driver, then you get the paperwork to deal with it.

Yep exactly this! And they have to have given it you within the 'pay early' timeframe. Somebody at our work was given one after 3 weeks and it had already past that stage, he disputed it and RM had to pay. They should hand it to the driver immediately and not really get involved until you've sorted it.

Yes they've told them I was driver and it's been paid already and it is going to come out off my wages. That's the bit that's annoyed me, they gave me PCN notice which tells you how to see the evidence but now it's been payed it doesn't matter no more.

I feel my appeal would have been suffficent enough to get it cancelled.

That's definitely a new one for me and I used to do the traffic office in the morning (as a stand in when the usual was on leave).

Never heard of it coming out your wages, they're supposed to find out who was driving then give them the ticket. Might be their new system but it sounds like bollocks to me, especially as it's your legal right to contest it.
