Penalty Charge Notice: Being in a bus lane

[Spiderman]

I got one of these recently, had 4 tiny pics of me on it. Well i say 'me' as i couldnt see the plate or even make out that then bike was actually an SV or not, thats how small the images are.
So i called them and said i'd happily pay if i was sure that was me on my bike. They very helpfully said they would send me a DVD of the whole incident, which they did.
I wrote a letter, forgot to send it and called them again to buy some more time. Then they sent me a letter saying they had recieved my letter (hadn't sent it to them by this point) and they were very busy but considering it.
Hmmm.

So i waited.

Coulple weeks went by and they send me another letter saying that they had considered it and even tho the ticket was correctly issued they would use their discretion and withdraw it.

Result

Oh BTW, be aware that even riding on the fat white line of the bus lane itself is deemed to be "in" the bus lane very petty but another way they catch some people doing absolutley nothing wrong and making them pay for that privelege too.

Yup, result alright Harsh aint the word, its ridiculous frankly.
If a cra sits with 2 wheels on the white line, and i see it plenty, it also blockes the bus from moving past it most times. Do they get sent a fine? Do they hell! Yet when a biker does the same thing but is actively out of the way of the bus its a fine. Theiving scumbags who man those scameras, thats all it is.
