Considering carefully all the evidence before me I am not satisfied that, at the time the vehicle is
shown to be at the location, the bus lane marking was sufficiently clear to advise the motorist of the
restriction
Accordingly, this appeal must be allowed.


Many Thanks to Hippocrates for the representation.

I didn't realise PCN were the responsibility of the registered keeper.
So the registered keeper has to appeal on behalf of the driver?
Should the appeal be written in first or third person?

I need to updated the driver for this PCN, but one minor thing I noticed on is that the capitalisation of the addressee's name is incorrect.  It is Jane Smith-jones rather than Jane Smith-Jones.

Another Merton 34J, similar to the other active one (sorry!).
Pepipoo


Council: London Borough of Merton
Contravention: Being in a bus lane
Location: Hartfield Road (between Hebert Rd & Graham Rd)

I've attached all the evidence that is available for this PCN.



The lower code on the PCN is weirdly printed.


My car is the black Honda.

My destination is Graham Road. 
I am aware that it is a left turn so am conscious that I will need to be in the left lane to make this turn.

The first image shows me outside the beginning of the bus lane.  The road markings are worn away and the edge line of the bus lane is not well defined until the written wording.
There is a grey car in front which I am following that impedes my view of the BUS LANE wording on the tarmac.  The next signage is after the BUS LANE wording.
Once the grey car clears the BUS LANE signage I clearly move to the right hand lane to avoid being in a bus lane. 
Once the clear demarcation occurs I am outside the lane.
I do not impede the flow of traffic in the bus lane and I only have two wheels are in the bus lane for approximately 2 car lengths.


Video show the situation best...

Is is worth appealing on these grounds?
