I have name changed for this as it’s so embarrassing.
Long story short, last week was taking my son to an activity camp in an unfamiliar part of London. I managed to drive down a prohibited street twice a day for 4 days and have been issued with a £65 fine for each time, so a total of £1300.
I checked the driving route the night before day 1 but didn’t realise that a small section of the route it gave me was closed to cars between 7 am and 7pm every day.
It’s completely my own fault, the signage was clear in retrospect but I misunderstood it. However since (unlike a parking fine where you get a ticket on the windscreen) there is a delay between violation and notification, I didn’t realise I’d breached a rule until I’d done it 20 times.
Has anyone ever been in a position like this and succeeded in having the fine reduced at all? (Bulk buy discount, ha ha)
I can’t see why they would, to be honest- seems a bit silly to expect them to give a discount to people who break rules repeatedly!
But just thought I’d ask…
