    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.
    Sound grounds for appeal then, I think.
