Default Re: Disputing a penalty charge? (riding in bus lane)

I was wondering if I can contest stating I wish to see a video footage that shows I was riding in it for more than 20 meters as I don't believe I was. There is something about 20 meters grace regarding whether you're turning. They don't have the vid online so maybe they don't have it thus can't prove it. Then I can say I entered accidentally and promptly exited

I don't think I would go into all this research and what not for £65, add a 0 and I'd be a certified counsler at the end if it.

maybe not you but £65 is a lot for me so for the sake of a little research and filling out a form which takes five minutes I may as well give it a try.
peed off... I have never been in a bus lane when I'm not supposed to EVER. first and certainly last time.

done. this is all I wrote. worth a shot; costs me nothing to try.
I wish to appeal against the Penalty Charge Notice.
I did not ride along the bus lane in question but looking to turn left into Sainsbury’s car park, (situated to the left of the bus lane) unintentionally clipped the last few meters whilst aiming to position myself in the correct lane for the turn. I believe I was in the last 20 meters of the said bus lane which is permissible. A genuine error has occurred due to an unfair car park access positioning and I believe the 20 meters should be graced.

Lucky for us someone in the department of driving or whatever did the clever thing, we can by default ride in the bus(bus, taxi, electrical cars, mopeds and MCs) lane. But a parking ticket is £50, speeding tickets £150-600
or higher if you end up in court.
