City of Westminster PCN No right turn charge

Hey guys,

The driver of this car received a PCN for performing a no right turn after turning left to enter the road and then doing a U-turn to exit the road.

The driver didn't see the sign that shows no right turn.

Are there any grounds for contesting this?

    Read the sticky 'Read this first before posting your case' as well as reading through some of the other threads there ahead of posting your own details, 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. .

    Is the driver happy to admit they weren't paying due care and attention and therefore didnt see the sign?

    Ah OK. I thought there was a council section on this forum also.

    At this rate the ticket may just have to be paid as they 14 day trial ends today.

    Thanks though.

    No, never has been any council section, we always sent people to Pepipoo for council PCNs etc, now its the FTLA parking forum instead
