Hi,

Yes, sorry still here.

I've lodged an appeal over the weekend and will let this forum know how the outcome goes.

It's unfortunate that it looks as if I was driving too fast and remained in the bust lane but in the time I had to react I felt it safer to stay in the bus lane oppose to swerving back into the lane. The bus lane literally finishes just out of shot and I had to enter that lane too.

Papers-based, or telephone hearing ?

On the council's website. Should hear within the next 10 days

Hi All,

I've received a ticket today with the letter dated 08/09/2023 for the contravention 34J BEING IN A BUS LANE which occurred on the 28/08/2023

I remember this clearly where as I was driving down Ripple Road (Barking), a car had pulled out from the petrol station hence I used the bus lane oppose to carrying out an emergency brake.

There was little space for me to move back into however the bus lane came to an end just in front of the final car. You can even see the arrows to use both lanes in the pictures taken and it shows me driving outside the bus lane till this car pulled out.

Is this worth appealing?
