Too many vehicles


This looks like it is a nice place to live although the presence of the security car shows us that it is an area which may be prone to burglary.


Mr Mustard doesn't expect his readers will be overly sympathetic to this situation if they are struggling to pay their own bills and a £130 PCN would stop them eating properly as they are then short on their budget.


 

Mr Mustard can see why an adjudicator would decide the PCN is valid. No observation time is required on a single yellow. Should you argue that you are loading/unloading or boarding/alighting a person who needs assistance then the lack of observation time would work against the council. Having more cars than your carriage drive can accommodate isn't a defence. Stopping on the road to obtain access through a secure gate would probably lead to a cancelled PCN if the time taken wasn't too long but that isn't the case here.

The adjudicator is spot on, he cannot 'let off' a motorist, his job is to apply the law, which will be bent in suitable circumstances but not on this day.

The end.
