Moving Traffic Contraventions - London
Discussion
Anyone know what Councils (and TFL) do in regards to Moving Traffic Violations?
E.G. if someone was captured performing a banned turn, u-turn, etc? Could it be a PCN, or worse? No idea if TFL/London Councils operate camera devices/CCTV for stuff like this, but I presume they do.
I've got a junction near me (SE London) that is ridiculous... bit confused as apparently if you're caught by the council for things like this they'll give you a PCN, but yet a TS50 violation (which is what this junction has a lot of!) results in 3 points?

Seems the type of fine you get and who issues it, depends on the specific offence.
Disobeying a No right turn sign is a PCN issued by the local authority. No points on your license.
Jumping a red light is a FPN with points on your license.
Seems pretty complicated to me.

Oh yes. London is absolutely infested with cameras on box junctions etc.E.G. if someone was captured performing a banned turn, u-turn, etc? Could it be a PCN, or worse? No idea if TFL/London Councils operate camera devices/CCTV for stuff like this, but I presume they do.

One of the restriction that LAs face is that they can only enforce offences where "keeper liability" can be utilised. They have no authority to demand a Registered Keeper provides the driver's details at the time of an alleged offence. This is done under s172 of the RTA and can only be demanded by a person acting ",,,on behalf of a chief officer of police."
I got stranded in a yellow box last weekend, when someone swooped in from the next lane and took my landing space beyond the yellow box.
This was in central London, so I'm fully expecting a CCTV PCN to arrive in the post any day.
I've already prepared for the PCN by downloading my dashcam footage of the event and dusting off the various template appeal letters that I've saved from previous threads on the same subject.
