How to challenge a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)

Moving traffic contraventions

Formal representations for moving traffic contraventions can only be made by the registered keeper of the vehicle upon receipt of a PCN.

The formal representation must be made within 28 days and can only be made on the following grounds:

  • I never was the owner of the vehicle or I was not the owner of the vehicle at the material time
  • There was no contravention of a prescribed order, failure to comply with an indication on a sign or contravention of the lorry ban order
  • At the time of the alleged contravention the person in control of the vehicle was in control without my consent
  • We are a hire firm and at the material time the vehicle was hired from us under a vehicle hiring agreement
  • The Penalty Charge exceeded the amount applicable in the circumstances of the case

An informal representation cannot be made against a moving traffic contravention.
