Disputing a penalty charge? (riding in bus lane)
Well, to be honest not sure I have a leg to stand on. Just got a notice with a picture of me in a bus lane at 4.10pm when it's operation from 4pm. Thought I'd check with the experienced folk if any excuses at all exists that could let me get away without paying? It's on Wandsworth Rd right outside big sainsbury's and the turn into the car park leads from that road. The bus lane ends a few meters before a normal road so that one can turn into the car park but obviously I was in the bus lane waaay too soon
ooops.... damn I could really use those £65 on something else

Re: disputing penalty charge (riding in bus lane)
Maybe find the regs and check it is properly signed etc?
Not sure if the usual 14 day rule applies to bus lanes either. I would look on pepipoo.

Re: disputing penalty charge (riding in bus lane)
14 days appeal if you get in quick and can be sure its outside the reg's.
You could appeal and still get withing 14 days if your quick and if you fail still pay £65? If not your going to have to own up to an honest 10 min's mistake.

Re: disputing penalty charge (riding in bus lane)

Re: disputing penalty charge (riding in bus lane)
Try the pepipoo forums, they know all the regs, there might be wiggle room if the signs aren't done as is legally required.
