China Man Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Last Thursday I drove to work at 4pm to deliver some stuff the store needed in Central London. I was behaving myself all the time and paid my congestion charge before I left my house. Today I recieved a letter with a 100 pounds fine The picture show the front of my car in the bus lane next to a file of traffic. The bus lane ends just 2 car length infront of my car in the picture. I guess I pull on to the bus lane just a tad too early!!! I paid the 50 pounds online just now and mental note to myself "big brother is watching and don;t make any mistake or it will cost ya" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I got nicked like that too, it was a new bus lane to me, just south of Westminster Bridge on the way to Elephant & Castle. It ends no more than 2 cars length before the lights and the right-hand lane is on a filter, so I figured as there were no buses around I could nip round the waiting cars on the right and get on the empty bit of normal road behind the one car in the left-hand lane. I was done by CCTV rather than a bus-lane camera, I didn't know they could do that. Also decided not to appeal as when I lost the appeal (chance of winning - pretty small) it would cost the extra 50 quid. I was also a bit p*d that it was 9 minutes before the end of the bus lane time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I luv bus lanes cos 99% of drivers stay OUT of them ALL the time - even outside of the enforcement period! Which leaves me to scoot along the inside thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 personally I enjoy a high speed run down the M4 bus lane... Had to race some girl in an M3 a wile ago. She took the hard shoulder and I took the bus lane.. p.s. I dont condone this behaviour at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
