Hi everyone, does anyone know whether there is a weight / time restriction on the ring road, just after the bridges going to and from Elephant and Castle? I was sent to Southwark by a certain parcel company, and was given a map with their recommended route… but have received a fine for exceeding 18 tonnes on a restricted street during prescribed hours… now no one, including myself, has ever noticed any signs displaying any restrictions on the Kennington Lane j/w Durham street… can anyone shed any light on this, as this is the regular route used by the company, and no one else has ever copped for a fine… 
Cheers…
Tell the company to pay it if you did not deviate from the issued route
That whole area is restricted so they should have an approved route by llcs for it
should the company pay it even though I’m sub contracted to them ?

Depends on the terms of your contract,most parcel firms are on the mercenary side so I would be surprised if they have not got you by the short and curlies in the small print.
Hope they haven’t as its hard enough to earn a crust without toe rags effectively stealing money off you.
ain’t that the truth!!
would it be worth contesting the fine?

I think you may have just answered your own question, you are a sub’y, is your reg number on the companies list of approved motors.
