Gatwick Airport - Stopping on Red Route

Syed114

I was driving the leased car and the company has provided my details as the driver of the hired vehicle. I have stopped for less than 30 seconds to confirm the passenger pickup location on the ride hailing app.

Which parking firm?

How do the lease company know you were the driver? Or did you mean keeper?

Parking firm is NCP. The car was on short term rental in my name from the lease/hirer company and they sent my details to NCP. Thanks

OK, so NCP know who hired the car.

It is particularly important that NCP never find out who was driving at that time because there is no way that they can transfer any driver's liability to the hirer.

OK.  Easy peasy one!

Use the appeal wording in the Gatwick Heathrow Airport Drop off Group thread.

No link needed as it can be found by a search.

I may be wrong, but the o/p appears to be a taxi driver albeit in a rental vehicle.

If so, in addition to any other arguments, I believe that I'm right in saying that registered private hire vehicles are permitted to stop on many red routes, so there's always that argument - ie. That the signage was inadequate to convey that normal highway code did not apply.
