Road and liability
PCNs, speeding and Section 172 notices
Parking, bus-lane and speeding notices have short deadlines. Who pays should be in the contract — but the registered keeper and the driver still have legal duties to respond.
What to watch for
- Notices sent to you for work done on their instruction
- Section 172 requests for driver details
- Pressure to ignore a notice
Practical next steps
- Read the notice date — many appeals have a 14- or 28-day window
- Tell the operator in writing and keep photos of signage or loading notes
- Use the official appeals process on the notice, not a WhatsApp promise
