Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Merton Borough, Being in a Bus Lane Contr Code 34J. Video recorded
« on: Yesterday at 11:47:17 am »
Hi,
As per videos, image uploaded (https://imgpile.com/p/zyQnvBz), I was driving and clip the end of a bus lane right at the END of the bus lane section. I am of the opinion this is in the normal course of driving, had no impact on other traffic or road users, and was not fully "in" the bus lane, but changing lanes very marginally prematurely (within normal driving tolerances) to place my car in a valid driving lane. 2 wheels are for a very short time over the white line.
While the end of the bus lane is not shown within their camera angles, the Google street view links provided below show that the end of the bus lane is imminent. Links to the street view are also attached below.
I have not contacted Merton Borough yet. The letter is dated 10th July, and received by me 11th July.
Any advice or help you can provide to challenge this PCN would be greatly appreciated and I am grateful you have taken the time to read my case.
Thank you,
Charlie
