I got 2 fines through the post for stopping on a yellow line

Customer Question

I got 2 fines through the post for stopping on a yellow line and slightly on a verge to avoid causing a traffic hold up when I dropped my daughter at school. This is the first time I've seen anything like this as the fines came through the post. There was no sign warning of "photo-fines". I was in the car, had not actually parked and the fines are for different amounts. The one for stopping at 8.36 is for £55 and the second at 8.47 the next day is for £65 obviously double that if I don't pay within 21 days. What rights to I have?

I presume they were issued by CCTV?

Customer: replied 12 months ago.

I don't know as I hadn't noticed cctv, nor is their any sign saying that if you stop or park, fines would be issued.

Expert:  Jomo1972 replied 12 months ago.

No, but there are yellow lines so its a non issue.

Are these double yellow lines?

Customer: replied 12 months ago.

Single yellow lines.
