    So, back to the original question then.

    "They can do for parking on a zig-zag, but AFAIK that's the only one. "


    Anyone (else) know if Trebor, or Aretnap is right?

    As the OP was NEVER parked on the crossing just driving over it, this is somewhat besides the point. ;)

    You could always look for yourself Mikey. There is this search engine called "Google" and it allows you to search for information like that.

    Source of all knowledge then? I thought someone on here would know for sure. But fair enough, I'll check on google then while there's some doubt.

    A CEO could issue a PCN for parking on a zig zag!
    A PCSO or plod could issue a FPN
    First is non endorseable second two are.
    Only plod could do you for failing to stop!

    So seeing the OP was moving, if anything the OP failed to stop, then the CEO can do no more then any of us could and tell the BIB!

    Its not what you said, re-read it again and you will see your original comment was different to what you have just said. PCN's are not issued for endorseable offences.
    Yes they are. Parking on a zig-zag is an endorsable offence for which PCNs are issued. The PCN doesn't come with penalty points, but that doesn't mean that the offence isn't endorsable - as anyone who's been caught doing it by plod can testify.

    Plods, Traffic Wardens (Genuine old time traffic wardens, not council bods) or TPSOs (Traffic Pcsos) can give points.

    A PCN would be issued under contravention code 99. It is not endorseable as it has been issued by a CEO because of a contravention under decriminalised parking.

    What Aretnap has written is perfectly clear. Everyone else can understand it. They are correct.
    It's even been explained further to you, but I'm sure they will again.

    Sigh. Let's go back to the beginning. You said...

    I understand the offence of failing to accord precedence at a pedestrian crossing is an endorseable offence so therefore outside of the realms of local authority CEO's to issue PCN's.
    It seemed pretty clear to me that you were saying that if an offence is endorsable, a CEO can't issue a PCN for it. In the interests of complete accuracy or pedantry (whichever you prefer) I pointed out that this is not always true, and gave the example of parking on a zig zag. That is an endorsable offence for which a CEO can issue a PCN. The PCN does not come with penalty points, but that doesn't make the offence itself non-endorsable because it can also be dealt with by a criminal procedure which does result in penalty points.
