hi there every one ,  in need of some superior knowledge again. i remember stopping at this loading bay to deliver beer to the pub next to the bay. i arrived before 4pm  but the pub took ages to open the door to me and give me the empties and i ran over into 4:12 on the letter. maybe the clock in the vans slow but i thought i arrived at 15.50 and have enough time ,  i still thought i should have been fine finishing loading as i stopped before 4. londons not my normal area at all any help to if anything an be done, but 80 quid for 10 mins and pretty much most of my days wages is a killer reg lg67pkj sorry i crossed it out

Quote from: roythebus on 01 Aug, 2024 23:13As a bus driver of some 51 years, it is almost impossible to stop a fully laden bus when the lights change suddenly, especially when standing passengers are taken into account. The risk of injury is considerable.i appreciate your reply and to know that they used to take into consideration is helpful ,   i feel a lot of people dont get what stopping a bus takes when some times the brakes work and some times they dont, and each one you drive behaves different.  some are sharp and you stop early and some dont do much then kick in, others work fine then let go of the gear at slow speed and you have to press real hard quickly.  its a guessing game.    all i wanted to do was not upset my passengers others on here, telling me i am argumentative is not helpful, i want to know the history of occasions similar to myself if possible.

why not ?   if its red for 5 mins why would you expect it to be only green for 10 seconds?

i understand the law on this one before it was said to me but i am looking for a way out of it.  i feel its unfair for lights to go green and change back again so fast stitching me up. i only wish to know how to contest it , what route i may need to take i have had lights change so fast recently i have not managed to pull away through them before they went back to red.  this cant be right either

but with your own words . "hard to impossible".  law or not there should be some give with certain circumstances.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/NQeD4qWz2cHSxWLw7a270 west bound into brighton . i understand the law is black and white.  but if i can just carryied on going i would have been fine . but because i attempted to stop i ended up in the box . but with regard to appeals and mitigating circumstances is that a possibility to find a way to point out with passengers and the fact i watched the lights go green and didnt expect them to switch back so fast, that i have any chance of an appeal.  obviously this is my job and my own licence.    just looking out for passenger comfort was my main aim

hello everyone,  i am glad to find this site after pepipoo was not working.i tried searching but not much cam up for what i need advice on , i had a call just now about a NIP from a day i was driving a double decker bus and i stopped over the line into the cycle box,it was a 30 zone in brighton and with a whole school of kids the lights i watch go green and thought great and before i knew it they switched to red,   they must be smart lights , but i could have stopped . but i did my best to not have everyone off thier seats.  i ended up in the cycle box,    3 lanes wide , no car behind or infront or bikes or anything.   just me with my bus a good chunk into the cycle box. does anyone know where large vehicles stand in scenarios like this .  i didnt want teachers and kids falling over i am yet to get the paperwork through in my name
