PCN Bus Lane violation for LD / disabled person in care

My partner's daughter is LD / severely autistic, and lives in supported accommodation with 2-1 24/7 care. She has an open policy Motability vehicle that any number of carers are able to drive for her. She has received a Penalty Charge Notice for a bus lane violation. We are struggling to find out who was driving the vehicle, and the daughter does not have the capacity to respond. When in the vehicle the carer requirement is 3-1 ie. 2-1 care plus another to drive. On that day two people spent time driving. Somewhat conveniently neither can recall who was driving at the time of the violation. I wonder in law how a fine can be levied and enforced upon someone who has no capacity. Any advice before the appointee replies on her behalf?

    ☝️ Good advice ☝️

    Register there but please note that a hotmail address won't work - try using a throwaway gmail account instead if you do have trouble registering and post a new thread; here's your link:


    Have a read through some of the other threads there before you post your own to get the hang of what information they need from you in your opening post - but as a minimum you will need to post redacted photos/scans of all correspondence you've received from the council (both sides, if appropriate) as they need to see all the small print.

    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
