Beware of the Bus Lanes

After a days shopping at the Trafford Centre last week, I have just landed myself with a £60 fine for driving in a Bus Lane some 10 minutes before I was allowed to. This fine will be reduced to £30 if paid in 14 days. Did the camera not show the cat in the road I was trying to avoid !!!!

  • There's nothing to stop you requesting a view of the video, if this shows you avoiding a cat then this is an acceptable reason to deviate inro the bus lane Assuming you pulled straight back onto the normal lane.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Not exactly the most helpful post for the op.
