Received a PCN any advice?

jaackla · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:04

I received a penalty charge notice today for performing a prohibited turn - no right turn and 22:01 PM
I'm just wondering if anyone can offer some advice

Goksly · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:07

This. Not sure what else you were expecting if you did indeed do it?

Because why am I going to hand them £55 so easy when I don't remember seeing any signs saying no right turn, I'll put up a bit of a fight even if I do lose then i will have to pay. i hear stories of people fighting there PCN and not having to pay so why cant i

Sometimes I think people just make a thread cause they're bored and not actually looking for advice.

Either that or this OP genuinely thinks someone is going to come up with a sneaky way of not having to pay the PCN.

Best go check the junction then rather than posting. If it's clearly signed you'll be paying up.

In before "Bin it"

In this instance I expect you to back up your statement with streetview.

Don't turn right at that junction again?

jaackla · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:15

I'm currently looking trying to find it on street view as this was 2 weeks ago i was just passing through and i had never been there before so still trying to remember the route i took

iaind · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:16

Doesn't the PCN have the location on it?

On Holiday · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:18

What is going on.
:confused:

Glanza · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:22

Ask for proof in the first instance.

jaackla · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:22

Okay yeah it has the road on the letter and this is the only place i found with a no right turn and i dont remember seeing the no right turn signs on the lights lit up?

tom_e · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:23

They don't have to be lit up to be enforceable?

jaackla · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:24

So why is there a turning for a right turn there?

Diagro · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:30

Get closer to the sign.

I see a "No right turn" sign there.

I bet it says unless your a bus or taxi

tom_e · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:33

If you type "The bridge harrow no right turn" into google you'll find you can turn right if you're a bus or a cyclist.

Haggisman · 6 Oct 2015 at 11:35

Cycles and buses only apparently.

Interestingly, this appears to be a bit of a nasty one for catching people out, start typing "the bridge harrow" and the second suggestion is "the bridge harrow no right turn".

Based on the figures in the article, I doubt you're going to get away with this one, so pay up and then go burn down the sign/city.
