Common defences for a Lambeth code 43 PCN include inadequate or missing signage, a defective traffic regulation order, failure to follow the observation procedure, incorrect contravention code, and procedural failures in serving the notice.

Yes. If Lambeth has issued your PCN with contravention code 43 but the code does not accurately describe what happened, this is a valid ground for challenge. The contravention code must match the restriction actually in force at the location and time stated.

You typically have 28 days to pay at the discounted rate or make an informal challenge. After a notice to owner, you have 28 days for formal representations. If Lambeth rejects those, you have 28 days to appeal to London Tribunals. Check your code 43 PCN promptly.

For a Lambeth code 43 challenge, gather the PCN itself, photos of signage and road markings at the location, any payment receipts, dashcam footage if available, and a written note of why you believe code 43 was incorrectly applied.

No. A Lambeth code 43 PCN may be incorrectly issued for several reasons: the signage may not comply with regulations, the observation period may not have been followed correctly, the TRO may be defective, or the code may not match what actually happened.

Ignoring a Lambeth code 43 PCN leads to escalation: notice to owner, then a charge certificate (increasing the penalty by 50%), then registration at the Traffic Enforcement Centre, and eventually bailiff enforcement. Responding early preserves the most options.
