Therefore if he denies it and goes to court, some common sense can (hopefully) be applied then
nope whatever makes you think they ( courts ) show common sense.
And yes - this is automated, and having been caught at this very time myself, it is machine generated huge money maker. And you follow the form. he has ticked 'I want to dispute it' so no one reviews it: the machine passes him onto the magistrates' system for which there seems to be a years wait.
He shoulda paid £100 , and forgotten about " I have a lawful excuse" or this is out of proportion to the infringment ( Human Rights Act so beloved of TTT) - Both of these I do not know if they will work
NJ does but will be tell us?

There is really no chance of changing this (nationally)
BUT there is on school of thought that says - 'if you have transgressed minimally a few times, then you say 'O christ why dont I steal £100,000'
that is: the law is brought into disrepute so you disregard all of it
in which case they do need to do something about this system
they dont
[ This is not too advanced a post for the average Aber is it?]

Now you CAN change a local system
Blue parking badge violation
I HAD photographed the ticket and badge
which only said X025 - ( valid 2025 but not monf or day)
this earned a ticket ( appealable on proportionality)
and I had to wait and make representation to the RIGHT people
( representations to the WRONG address will not be sounted!)
£100 and eight weeks wait
and after ( acquittal) I wrote to the Mayor and said I wd stand against him in his won ward in the next election with the tag "This man WASTES your council tax and KNOWS he is doing it"
the council tax payer pays for the whole shebang - wardens, office, paperwork, reps, 'hearing' - on this a complete non-starter
and he changed the system for reps to be made berote the hearing. Quicko Quicko. He knows what being booted out of office as a wastrel meant

At the age of 76, should he be considered old or not, his intentions were honourable!
Unfortunately he'll be a silly (old) boy if he proceeds through the courts. The photographic evidence does his case no favours. In addition, the highway code is quite clear;
Rule 219:
When [an emergency vehicle] approaches do not panic. Consider the route of such a vehicle and take appropriate action to let it pass, WHILE COMPLYING WITH "ALL" TRAFFIC SIGNS. If necessary, pull to the side of the road and stop, but try to avoid stopping before the brow of a hill, a bend or narrow section of road.
