Can you help man who got ticket?
7:36am Friday 25th March 2011 in Wandsworth
I am writing in the hope that someone reading this might be able to help me.
On the 30th October, 2007 at around 4.30pm I was travelling on my scooter through Tooting High Street.
A man on a motorbike was struck on his right side by a car turning left into Ansell Road off Tooting High Street.
I immediately stopped and offered any assistance I could at the scene of the accident.
Fortunately the motorcyclist was not seriously hurt and I left him and the driver of the car to discuss and exchange details.
I returned to my scooter to continue my journey but unfortunately it wouldn’t start.
I attempted to start it again and it was at this point I was filmed by a red route patrol vehicle.
A week later I received a parking penalty for parking on a red route.
I wrote back and explained the circumstances as to why I was there but Transport for London did not accept my appeal stating there was no proof in what I said.
If anyone reading this letter witnessed this accident I would very much appreciate it if you would contact me via the paper.
I only wanted to offer help to someone and it would appear that I’m going to be fined heavily for that.
