VCS crash and burn at Southampton County Court: Bristol Airport Case

Coupon-mad

@BTSOAP

And please please please do this on or before 5th September (end of next week): the government's Public Consultation.

Their proposals are wrong and in some parts,  anti-consumer. We must stop them.

We need every poster to come back & complete this vital Consultation before the deadline.

We understand that you may need some pointers. It looks laborious and detailed, we get that.

But you - as a harassed and angry Defendant who never wanted court and presumably received umpteen £170 threatograms (not to mention having seen off a previous case re a residential rip off 'permit scheme' farce) - can use your experience and gleaned knowledge to call out a scam industry with little preparation needed.

You'll protect millions of motorists and help change the law.

Your transcript can be attached to answer the MHCLG's question about adding a 'not the fault of the driver' PCN appeals cancellation promise to the Appeals Charter, because DJ Giddens talks about:

..."what if a bus got in the way?

...What if I was held up by a masked gunman and shot? What if I couldn't find the car park and sort of came to a stop for 30 seconds? Would I have to pay £100?"

What he's getting at there is a 'no fault' (frustration of contract) and/or de minimis case for defendants because your scooter only briefly stopped due to an ABS warning light. An emergency/safety situation totally fits with the MHCLG's new idea there.

I've written some guidance on that thread to help support your answers if you need inspiration.

Ordinary people like you are falling victim to this scam 15 million times per annum. Motorists need your voice added please!
