Specific grounds of appeal for this contravention

As the contravention is that of “failing to comply with a give way to oncoming vehicles sign it is important to remember that in order to prove this contravention that the enforcing authority must actually show you passing the sign at the exact time when an oncoming vehicle is approaching. It is not sufficient to simply show your vehicle. You can ask to see the video or photographic evidence. Even if they have changed the wording of the contravention to exclude the word sign the fact is that there still must be a sign there and if there is not then it is not enforceable.
