Blimey, I didn't know it was for Commercial vehicles only. I thought "Loading" meant the act of a person with which something is put in a ship or vehicle or airplane for conveyance... not that you only ever load into commercial vehicles!

Same.

AFAIK it does not have to be a commercial vehicle, private vehicles are fine but used for a relevant purpose and/or within the circumstances allowed.

However you would need to be insured for business use as the nature of your usage is business related. So, even if you got off a PCN for parking in an unloading bay for a legitimate business use you might find yourself committing an insurance offence instead.

If you don't want to pay it now bleed the appeal system dry.

Does look like they have you though. Ignorance will not win this for you unfortunatly.

This afaik.

I've sat in loading zones many a time (in my Scania) and watched as cars around me get booked..... afaik, those zones are for commercial vehicles, not cars, which is why they are such Nazis.

trying to do deliverys in & around London in an HGV is nigh impossible at the best of times, cars in these zone really don't help. - You can park cars in places a 54ft Artic won't fit, hence these specific zones.

Interestingly though, despite staying way over the 20mins doing an average drop (sometimes over an hour!) I've never had an issue nor ticket in one of those zones.....

Stopping on a Red route however seems to attract them like Wasps to Jam!

Lucky you. I had to deliver cycle crash helmets to a roadside shop in London which was on a Red route (Double RED lines). NO stopping before 09:00. I arrived 08:15 and the little Hitler said if I didn't move immediately I would be ticketed. I drove ½ mile up the road and went round and round and round and round a roundabout for 40 mins.


It caused traffic chaos but the LH didn't give a damn. When I broke off all the shop keepers cheered and laughed.

My mum successfully appealed one of these loading bay fines. She proved she was picking up a massive blanket/throw from a dry cleaners and there was no way she could have done so without parking nearby in the loading bay ( she is in her 60's). She appealed and they let her off. We all were well surprised!

I think you can load shopping IF its to collect only and has been prepaid.
