If you receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) while genuinely stopped to pick up or set down a passenger, read on; General parking exemptions apply to a vehicle being used under a licence under section 6 of the Metropolitan Public Carriage Act 1869 (1) for the sole purpose of stopping for a reasonable period of time to allow a passenger to board or alight. For reference, you should also read the case which was held in The High Court on 29th November, 2010. The Queen on the Application of Makda v The Parking Adjudicator. Case No. CO/4743/2009, which you will find on Google. Beware of parking with two wheels on the kerb, stopping on zigzags and solid red lines on bus stops. Furthermore, beware of stopping in Yellow Box Junctions. Members receiving tickets. |
