Thanks

Hope link works

The damaged sign would serve as the 'entrance sign' and the bottom of it is seven foot high

I'm 5'6" and I can't even touch it

The image of the parked car shows the sign closest to where I parked and again sign at least 7 foot high with tiny writing

It's position made be believe it referred to parking bays beyond where my car was parked, particularly as it was the first visible sign

Broken in two sign just another of the badly damaged signs on the estate!

Half_way

quick question, are you a resident on this estate or visiting a resident?

Southernsoftie_jo

Neither, car was parked for a 10 min visit to access nearby stream

Never been there before

Probably a resident using one of those apps to catch people, unless was really unlucky as wasn't there more than 10 mins

Half_way

that 10 minutes marked be of use to you, as there should be a 10 minute grace period to read signs, and judging by those signs the 10 minutes is needed

I could say I was getting the ladder to read the signs...

Would my Mum be of any value as a witness statement for court defence as the photo is time stamped and she can confirm the time we arrived at her house - went straight there

You should redact your VRN from those pics.

It's a shame the sign in front of the car isn't one of the damaged ones, but there are several things wrong with it anyway. It is not saved by the Beavis case because the font size is too small and the £100 charge is not prominent. In addition, the premium rate 'phone number is prohibited.

I think your Mum's witness statement would only be of value if she were present in court.

The other thing is I wasn't driving, or even in the car

I haven't raised this yet, but haven't stated that I was or wasn't driving this far
(Had unsuccessful internal appeal, now ignoring until court papers arrive)

I've looked into the info about revealing who was driving etc and I get that I never admit to driving (particularly as I wasn't) and tbh I don't really understand how to navigate this point

can the fact somebody else was driving not me play to our advantage in any way?

If so how? I'm confused about this one

Delete the bit above where you tell the whole world who was driving!, and also in post 12!
DO IT NOW!

If the scammers don't know who was driving, then they have to rely on each and every part of the POFA 2012. If they fail to comply on even one point of the POFA then they cannot hold the keeper liable.

Btw I was not driving but I am the keeper. I'm dealing with it.

Read other defences by searching 'no keeper liability POFA defence Gladstones'.

All your questions will be answered by other threads, where you will learn so much more than on this thread.

Coupon-mad - would it be worth redacting OP's quote you've put in post 20 as quoting this reveals driver?
