Hi, driver drove through short stay came out immediately wihtout stopping as thought entered wrong place. Paid £7 on toll. Went through drop off zone, stopped for 2 minutes to try to work out where to go. Drove out. Drove into short stay again, this time for 10 minutes and paid £7 toll again. Driver got a fine for being in drop off zone and not paying online. Driver didn't see the sign to pay online. Is it worth appealing? Many thanks

    Deal with it as this thread advises. Let us know the (successful) outcome. 

    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.

    The  driver received nothing! Dead easy to appeal and win as long as the keeper does it. Such a simple one. Cannot lose.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
