Stopping in box junction

I’ve received a PCN for stopping in box junction. The lights were in my favour but 3 electric scooters jumped the lights giving me no option apart from running them over but to stop should I make a representation?

    Asa we concentrate on private parking charges here on MSE, you would be better taking this over to our friends on pepipoo.com as they are the police and council motoring experts.

    You will need to register there with a non-hotmail email address before posting both sides of your redacted PCN with your query.

    Clear when you set off, does not stop someone overtaking on the junction, pulling in and then blocking the exit which had been clear.  Happens a lot.

    OP needs to request a link to the video which shows that at the moment they set off they did have a clear exit which was subsequently blocked.

    You have good grounds to appeal if, as you suggest, there was clear space for you to exit the yellow box when you started out but were then prevented from doing so by the intervention of another vehicle. You can only be done if you entered the box knowingly unable to exit it.
    The PCN should allow you access to the video evidence it’s been based upon.
    Exact same situation happened to me a few years ago, I appealed, not contested by the council, PCN withdrawn
