Red Route PCN 65seconds didn't get out of the car

Hi all,
I have received a PCN fro TFL today, it was on a day I was returning from volunteering with COVID-19 food supply charity prepraing food boxes for the needy . On my way home, I was following a friend of mine when he pulled over, I followed him he came out of the car came over to me and asked me if I knew the way as his phone battery was dead. We carried on, I didn't even leave my car and we were on our way. I have a few issues such as the road signs were not facing oncoming traffic, there's no visible sign warning that CCTV enforcement is in use. I would be ever so grateful for some pointers as it isn't only me who has to pay this fine but my friend also.

As this is tfl , join pepipoo fightback forums using a non Hotmail email address and post in their relevant section after reading the posting requirements , bearing in mind there is no stopping allowed on red routes3

As above , none of what you mentioned is a valid reason for stopping on a TFL red route.
They will have video and photos to back it up as the traffic cameras are used for enforcementEx forum ambassador

Could it be a 'red route bay' though (only certain hours) ?
I got my niece off a TFL red route bay CCTV PCN because the camera operator failed to zoom in on the sign, at all.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

If it was a red route 24/7 it's irrelevant about any sign. I just wanted the OP to confirm if it was a red route bay, perhaps, which are not 24/7 and are bound by signage that the CCTV images/video must zoom in on.
The OP needs to ask on pepipoo about their case, showing their photos and letters to those expert posters.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
