Mistermeaner

Anyone been successful in appealing on a technicality?

Totally forgot to pay .... 2 trips as well

Oops

How do you think you can appeal travelling across it and not paying before midnight of the following day?

Cloned plates would be one but you'd need to report it to the Police and get a crime number to stand a chance and that's a risky route to start going down to avoid paying £20.

I got off the charges by pointing out how hard it is to read all of the signs while travelling at speed, and several others have too.

It's a lot of information on quite a small sign.

Something wrong with that link, I saw the headline and just a huge white page full of adverts and a survey.

The link works and it is quite an interesting read. Looks like the OP might stand a chance.

I found that an issue too and simply googled Mersey Flow when I got to Manchester Airport where I was heading from Liverpool recently. Not really all that difficult. Certainly less effort than an appeal process.

I'm going to pay the 'fine' under duress and appeal for a refund of both the fines and the charges
