Hello can anyone help? Got a bus lane TfL ticket. Attached pcn.

I didn’t even realise I was going throng a bus lane. I’m so used to road marking saying “bus lane” and when I didn’t see it I thought it was ok to drive in that lane. On top the solid white line had another line next to it with separated lines.

The TfL customer advisor was so rude sayings “it’s the law it’s illegal to drive over solid white line according to Highway Code”. he said it doesn’t matter if the road marking said “bus stop” but not “bus lane”. And said the start of the road showed a sign on a pole showing it’s a bus lane.

However it’s such a long road why would you look at the start of the road for the bus lane sign if you think it appears like a normal road lane that you can drive through?

I’ve never had a bus lane ticket in my life and it’s little coincidence that that the main reason for that is the road marking always said “bus lane” so if you missed the pole with the bus lane information at the start of a long road atleast you can see clearly it says bus lane.

Further the agent was reluctant to tell me I could get video footage and I had to push him to admit that I could request video footage!

Any help is much appreciated thank you

All sorted done now. Uploaded pcn to OP

Why can’t I add any attachments on my thread? The TfL pcn no is: GF85652077

thanks but even the link you posted doesn’t work.

be great if someone can look at the issue of why you cannot attach pdf’s or photo jpegs like you can on money saving expert. it’s just a whole lot easier and efficient then relying on external sites and to then link it here which average people would find difficult

thanks. sorry could you tell me what gsv means?

hello any advice would be appreciated

i followed guidance on money saving expert on what to write for a appeal of a horizon pcn. i got this at a park car park. the signage was really poor and only had it stated that it was a paid car park on the entrance board which is easy to miss as your turning into the park.

although i didn’t mention the above when appealing as on money saving expert they had a template for  horizon pcn’s which basically advised to say  “we” and not give any registered keeper details.

please find attached horizons rejection email

any thoughts on what i can do? should i go to POPLA for formal appeal? If yes can i now mention i was the driver and mention the poor signage? Or should i do nothing?

hello all i got a pcn from haringey for a right turn at a yellow box junction (attached the original pcn). i made a representation to the council after some advice here. My response was as follows:

“Hello please find the reasons below why I don’t believe this pcn applies -The right turn exemption (as drafted) should apply It states: The prohibition in sub-paragraph (1) [i.e. stopping when prohibited] does not, in respect of a box junction within sub-paragraph (6)(a) of the definition of that expression [i.e. a box junction situated at the junction of two or more roads], apply to a person who— (a)causes a vehicle to enter the box junction for the purpose of turning right; and (b)stops the vehicle within the box junction for so long as the vehicle is prevented from completing the right turn by an oncoming vehicle or other vehicle which is stationary whilst waiting to complete a right turn. I satisfy both points. - Further PCN 2170442131 issued in Hammersmith & Fulham (Talgarth Road at the junction with Butterwick at 6.33pm on 8 May 2017) also went to a adjudicator for the same alleged contravention as my PCN and the adjudicator agreed with the motorist and upheld in the motorists favour their appeal to the adjudicator.”

Haringey council have replied with the attached letter rejecting it.

Any thoughts? Do i stand a realistic chance taking it further or should I pay it? Any help would be appreciated thank you

Hello lovely people

Got a not so lovely pcn in the post for the worse junction I have come across at lordship lane n22 (boreham road).

Please see pcn letter and video/letter showing incident in question.

jus wanted any help to know if I stand any chance appealing this. I cannot even see on the pcn instructions that I can make an informal appeal. Or that if i make one I will still get the chance to pay the discounted rate if they reject it! Any help would massively be appreciated

Thank you
