Free Traffic Legal Advice

Thank you for your responses.  I see now from your photo I should have seen that I could have turned right at that sign although I was already travelling in bus lane.  I was by then disorientated and panicking for myself and my hubby looking for a quick left turn to exit bus lane. Any right turn in my memory would take me back to the seafront anyway so I felt trapped in bus lane focusing on finding a left turn to exit bus lane asap. It was my bad but I was totally disorientated by the changes. Last time I drove that way we would bear left past the Royal Pavillion and the road took us straight along to London Road, now it seems at the bend you must turn up by the theatres because road here changes into bus lane 😢. I was going by old memories and by time I realised it had become a bus lane I was already in it. It was a genuine error with no intent whatsoever but is my explanation feasible or should I just pay the fine?  Thank you again x

I was travelling the other way to the bus shown in the photo you showed. The road used to be the main route to London Road but all roads have changed and routes redirected.  I am 69 and spent my youth nights out in Brighton but roads have changed dramatically around the pavilion.  Once I had realised I had passed the only left turn and had to keep going to the start of London Road.  I’ve tried to do red line on my pics 🤷‍♀️
