Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Birmingham City Council - Code 34 Driving in a Bus Lane, Bordesley Green East

Just seem to have found another ongoing case which mentions time limits on PCN's which I thought maybe worthwhile to mention as in my case, the PCN is 6 months+ since contravention occurred, though in my case the vehicle was a courtesy which added to the delay.

Regardless, is this something I can add to the challenge?

Apologies for the delay & many thanks for the reply Incandescent. I can't seem to find much concrete information on this bus lane grace period or consistent TPT case studies from my simple research.

Agreed on not making it easier for them. So will challenge & await rejection.

Since the only avenue for defence here will be the short distance travelled in bus lane, I've drafted a below

"I am writing to challenge the Penalty Charge Notice PCN No: JJ1212256A issued on 29 May 2024 for allegedly driving in a bus lane on Bordesley Green East.

On the day in question, I entered the bus lane for less than 20 meters to complete left turn onto Station Road. Given the minimal distance, I believe this infraction is insignificant and did not disrupt bus traffic. I request that the PCN be reviewed and cancelled.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration."

Let me know thoughts or any improvements I can make.

Received a Bus Lane Contravention - Code 34

Entered the Bus Lane approx. 20m early to get onto left lane to turn at Station Road.

The infraction is insignificant & no bus was blocked.

The car in question is a courtesy vehicle for which I was made to pay an admin fee by provider regardless of my intent to appeal. Not sure if there is any way I can add/recoup this to my challenge here.

Happy to just pay the fine outright if there isn't any hope to challenge this.

Apologies for not using imgur (Unable to register for some reason).

Not yet made any responses to this as it is my first time. Any help will be great.
