Post by: Acho on May 31, 2026, 05:06:30 pm
I received a PCN from the Royal Borough of Greenwich on Friday for an alleged bus lane contravention that occurred couple of weeks ago.

I have carried out the same manoeuvre many times on my motorcycle when filtering through traffic, always taking care not to cross the line. This is the first time I have received a PCN for it.

Does a PCN still stand if no part of the vehicle's tyres crosses into the bus lane? Do you think it would be worth challenging the penalty?
