Author Topic: PCN For Bus Lane Contravention - Bugsby's Way SE7 Outside Makro SE7  (Read 792 times)

I received a PCN for a bus lane contravention a while ago (date of contravention 26/10/2025).

I appealed because the reason I entered the bus lane was that there was a stationary car in front of me, which I had assumed was broken down. I was turning left anyway in about 50m, and while it would be theoretically possible, since I was turning left a short distance later, it would be unsafe to then move across 2 lanes to do so.

They rejected my appeal.

What should I do?

This is the video (I'm the blue car)

This is a council PCN so I have moved this post to the Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) forum.

To help the users there provide you with the best advice, please read the following thread carefully and provide as much of the information it requests as you are able to: READ THIS FIRST - **BEFORE POSTING YOUR CASE!**, This section is for council, TFL, Dart/Mersey/Tyne etc. cases

the reason I entered the bus lane was that there was a stationary car in front of me, which I had assumed was broken down.
I will leave it to the experts to comment on your case, but at face value, this does not seem a particularly convincing argument, given that the vehicle in front is still moving when the video starts, and is clearly stopping due to a queue of traffic ahead.
