What are the time limits for a PCN?
A PCN (driving in a bus lane) was issued 16 days after the offence - no doubt I did it (didn't spot the sign) - and received 17 days after the occurrence. Can I appeal it due to the lateness of the issue - I was under the impression it was 14 days?

A PCN should be issued within 28 days of the offence taking place, although this can be extended in circumstances where information supplied by the DVLA to the issuing body is delayed.
