Write a letter to appeal it. Cite road safety or some such. They'll usually let you off first time if you bother appealing."Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. "

Originally posted by Fred Bloggs View PostMy own fault, because I'm stranger to an area I was in all last week (not far from Wembley) and I got a penalty notice this morning relating to last Monday night. It looks like when turning left in the car at a round about, I drove into a bus lane for about 5 or 8 yards (I guess) in error when making the left turn. What a plonker I am, but now I have to sit to see how many more "mistakes" I made last week. Could turn out to be an expensive week if any more of these turn up over the next few days. I never realised that councils had cameras focussed on catching otherwise innocent folk like this. How naive I am.
Did you simply turn left across a Bus Lane - You are allowed to turn left across a bus lane and to enter the bus lane shortly before the turn. provided the left turn itself is permitted. Bus Lanes should either have a broken white line (on major turnings) before a junction or a gap in the solid white line (on minor junctions). The broken white line should start at least 30 metres before a major junction or the solid white line should stop at least 10 metres short of a minor junction. You should appeal if you simply made a permitted left turn across a Bus Lane and did not travel in it for 20 metres or more or if the broken or solid line is not set back. Local authorities should not enforce an incorrectly marked bus lane which we understand could be a criminal offence if the signs are also incorrect.. Also either a bus lane is marked correctly or it is not. If it is not then the whole bus lane is, in our opinion, unenforceable.

I'm waiting to see if I get done by a camera for something I did last week. Dropped someone off on in the drop-off area between St Pancras and Kings Cross, then made a U-turn to get back to Euston Road.
Afterwards checking if that really was the right drop-off area for Kings Cross I found that the road was one-way for ordinary vehicles, the queue of black taxis lining up in the opposite direction on the Kings Cross side of the road was just there to help fool you.
As far as I can tell using Google streetview, there's no way someone who entered the road from the south could have known that a U-turn would have him breaking the selective one-way rule. There is a sign on the north entrance to the road that only taxis may enter, from that direction.Comment
