Appealing a Penalty Charge Notice
Moving traffic contraventions
A PCN issued for a moving traffic contravention is issued by virtue of the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003. The representation procedure differs to the representation procedure for parking contraventions and Bus Lane contraventions as formal representations can only be made by the registered keeper of the vehicle upon receipt of a PCN.
The representations must be made within 28 days and can only be made on the following grounds:
- I was not the owner of the vehicle at the material time
- There was no contravention of an order or failure to comply with an order or failure to comply with an indication on a sign
- The vehicle was being used without my consent
- We are a hire firm and the person hiring the vehicle had signed a statement accepting liability
- The Penalty Charge exceeded the amount applicable in the circumstances of the case
Please note: An informal challenge cannot be made against a moving traffic contravention.
