thanks for the tips. I wasn't sure whether the tfl fine was statutory or civil. Accountant wanted £150 to upgrade remit of work in order to tell me whether the parking fine was statutory or civil.

Its an offense committed on the public highway so I do not think it is a civil issue.

You evidently read the Daily Mail.

Bus lane fines are there to stop and deter people like you using them. If we didn't have deterrents, on such things as bus lanes, yellow box junctions, etc, there would be no point in having them and London would be even mire grid locked than it is.

I for one would strongly object to any fines being tax deductible. I am not willing to pay for your incompetent driving.

So why did they use fines as a deterrent rather than fixed penalty points?

yup. I'll have to treat the fine payment as a drawing instead
