A ticket issued for breaking parking or traffic rules, is known as a penalty charge notice (PCN).
Common reasons for receiving a PCN include:
- parking in a space without a permit or paying
- parking on a double yellow line
- driving in a bus lane
- stopping in a yellow box junction
We also send PCNs by post if a vehicle is driven away while it is being issued.
