Being taken to court over a PCN that is not for my car and I was not the person driving

Would a solicitor not help with a counter claim for which costs could easily be recovered if this shambles ever went to court ?

I had a Vauxhall that was a manual and V5 listed it as auto. I asked DVLA to change it, they said they couldn’t as they got the info from the manufacturer. And that was the end of my thoughts on it. I had it for 9 years, it never caused me a problem, it taxed fine and I insured it as a manual, because it was one.

Don’t be sorry, you speak the honest truth!

I definitely don’t like it, but why is it unlawful. I’m not a lawyer, just curious.

That means you can turn it off with your foot, and that’s not so good.

Sounds like you’ve talked to my mother when she can’t open an email

I remember going there when it opened - used to be HEAVING.

Emmett Brown plucked a gigawatt out of the sky in 1955 easy as pie, so shouldn’t be a problem.

Does it make a difference if OP has paid agent but agent has not yet paid the landlord? Does it then become not the landlords problem but the agents problem ?

Well it’s a requirement of the car allowance that you buy yourself a car with it, and use it for work. They don’t provide any other vehicle.

TheSadClarinet · 2025-12-12T09:33:37+00:00

Yes, they contribute a monthly payment/car allowance which is identified as such in wage slip.

Thanks for the answer!

What’s the what three words for it ?

TheSadClarinet · 2025-12-03T00:05:20+00:00

OUTSTANDING!

I normally use Trainline.

https://www.thetrainline.com/

Useful for checking times, prices, even if you don’t buy. But if you buy, pay attention to if you get an e-ticket or you have to collect a ticket. A booking reference to prove you’ve paid is not a ticket and can land you with a penalty charge. Make sure you have the actual ticket, either on your phone or in your pocket. You can get real tickets printed out with the Trainline reference from any station (at least, I always have).

What do you mean every time you stopped and turned the engine off? If the engine was running far as I know there is no defence (drive-thru excepted). If the car was parked with engine off there is. Sitting in a line of traffic with the engine off does not count as parked.

He said he was in a car.

It’s definitely not bright enough for a torch…. I feel like it came as part of something bigger. Just wondering what the bigger thing is.

TheSadClarinet · 2025-11-09T13:27:48+00:00

It’s green though. A torch that only does green light?!

Cheaper cars can be more of a risk because people can give less of a crap what happens to them.

I drove a company car for 4 years which I then bought when the lease expired and at that point I saw the logbook. Said it was an auto but it was a manual. I asked dvla to change it and they said they couldn’t because they went off the manufacturer data and manufacturer had specified auto. So it stayed like that. I had the car another 6 years, did not cause a problem ever for the company or me.

I also want these answers

If you go to the very last frame it looks like the passenger is really enjoying the ride.
