Have I been caught?
« on: June 14, 2023, 01:56:22 pm »
This is a thread for all those who want to know “have I been caught doing x?”. If you haven’t received any notification from the authorities that you have been caught, do not post your query in one of the active case sections (speeding, council or private parking) but rather here.

Newbury Avenue Enfield - Bus Lane / Bus Gate

Hello

I was redirected here from Pepipoo by cp8759, thank you for that.


I am anticipating a ticket in the coming week and was wondering if would there be a valid defense. The restriction was unfeasibly narrow.


Traveling in an unfamiliar area last week I panicked when I saw an upcoming lane restriction and drove through the bus gate.


Would there be any defense that the signage was after the restriction and should have been before in order to warn traffic ?


I was driving a new car that only left me 4 inches either side of the restriction and I was afraid of scraping.

I don't know what you mean by "the signage was after the restriction", the signage is visible before you get to the restriction. If the 7 foot gap was too narrow for your vehicle, you should have turned around and found a different route (the fact that that might be inconvenient is neither here nor there).

If you get a PCN post it up and we'll look for any possible technical defences.
