London Borough of Redbridge – box junction on Goodmayes Road
« on: »
I just received this PCN for driving into a box junction at the junction of Goodmayes Road and Goodmayes Avenue.

The driver followed a van to try and overtake the bus – believing there to be enough space – but was prevented from doing so by oncoming  traffic.

Are there any arguments to be made here?

We need to see the video before commenting, so please post the PCN number and the car registration, or go onto the Redbridge website, find the video and post it here.

Maybe a case can be made this is a driving manoeuvre with obvious intention to pass the bus.

Yes, a possibiity, although I think you'd need the "right" adjudicator at London Tribunals. The car was only prevented from exiting the box due to moving vehicles in the opposite direction. But OP mus risk the full PCN penalty, of course.

Pretty much – the van moving forwards created the impression of a clear road, but pulling up too close to the bus obscured the view of the oncoming people carrier.
