Hope so if the OP agrees.

The Council advises that the contents of a Bus Lane PCN is outlined in Statutory Instrument 2007/3483, Schedule, Paragraph 2, and we are satisfied that both the PCN and the Enforcement Notice comply fully with current legislation.  :D  ;D  ::)  :P  ???  :-[  :'(

They also adduced a PAD 020 certificate for parking contravention: Bosch.

I am not a betting person.  But:

1.  They will continue?

2.  They will DNC?

3.  Notwithstanding 1 and 2: costs?

cp8759 was not joking!  Their case is riddled with errors. More to follow.

@OP: polite reminder that day 1 of deemed service of the EN is 8th December.
Title: Re: Being in a bus lane Highgate Road Camden
Post by: Hippocrates on December 14, 2023, 09:22:22 am
The EN states this under The contravention has already been dealt with:

Please supply proof that the Penalty Charge has already been paid or that a warning has been issued by police/traffic warden/civil enforcement officer.

The law states this @ https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/1996/9/section/9/enacted

9   Penalty charge not payable in certain cases
No penalty charge shall be payable under this Part of this Act in respect of any conduct where—
(a)a notice is given to the driver under section 54(2) or (4) of the [1988 c. 53.] Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 in respect of a bus lane offence constituted by that conduct; or
(b)notification of an intention to prosecute the driver in respect of such an offence is given by the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis or of the City of London to the council of the borough in which the alleged offence took place before the expiry of the period of 14 days, beginning with the day on which the alleged offence takes place.

Thanks.  Problem is: if the OP (as per my advice) is going to claim inexact locus, the least said about signage the better at this stage.  I say let them prove their case.
Title: Re: Being in a bus lane Highgate Road Camden
Post by: mrmustard on December 13, 2023, 05:18:35 pm
Signage is inadequate. Sure I dealt with a similar case a decade ago and the signage was also not good enough then.

I have seen the Enforcement Notice.  Vague locus plus any ideas from Mr Mustard will be most welcome.

Suggested draft:

Vague locus.

Strict proof re camera authorisation.

The PCN has been dealt with?

I have recently made a challenge at this location for a skip lorry who turned left which was part of my challenge. Also the lack of a no steeper than 1 in 10 painted taper, possibly no sign and a vaguely stated location. The response may help in this case.
Thank you. Sorry for the late response.

Thank you.

I was on the same stretch of road yesterday and whilst waiting for the traffic to move saw two cars do exactly the same thing I did.

Just had a look at the video again.  What a collage of road legends!  This is a mean PCN. FOIR sent and I will report back. PM sent re redacting personal details.

This is the applicable regulatory sign: https://maps.app.goo.gl/dZAhdPNznEH2j2xH7

I'll let Hippocrates sort this one out, I'm sure he'll have fun with Camden. Although I have to say, they probably won't turn up!

Oh no for some reason I had 28 days in my mind. Thank you for the offer of help I hope whoever deals with the appeal it is in a good mood.
Title: Re: Being in a bus lane Highgate Road Camden
Post by: Hippocrates on November 20, 2023, 08:16:37 pm
You are now past the 14 days so may as well wait for the Enforcement Notice.  Please do not write to the council now.  We will suggest valid representations when you receive it.  I am happy to take this one on should it go the full distance.  In my view, the PCN is potentially flawed for various reasons.

Hello
Re PCN
There are only 2 pages the front and back are uploaded.
We need the exact location on google street view in order to investigate the camera issue. Assuming you actually know where this is?

If you don't know / can't work it out, please say so.
Title: Re: Being in a bus lane Highgate Road Camden
Post by: Hippocrates on November 18, 2023, 07:57:31 pm
The sign at the junction is twisted.  Cp's point re locus is how many other bus lanes are there on this stretch of road?  I think!

Please post up the remaining pages of the PCN please.

The first issues that come to mind are vague locus and camera authorisation.

Please give us a link to the exact location on google street view.

I made a left turn from Highgate road due to a very long tailback. The end of bus lane sign is situated on the lane after the turning I made. I had no idea I couldn't turn there since it is a road which leads to one parallel to the one I came off of.
