| | Platinum Account Customer | Re: Bus Lanes It most certainly is, and I seriously believe that this government don't give a toss about safety, it's all about generating revenue. It's the motorists that pay for the roads in new car tax, petrol tax, VAT, parking fees and fines, insurance premium tax, road fund licence etc. and most of it is spent on traffic calming schemes that only serve to gridlock town centres (more fuel used = more tax £££).
Get the chance to go over 30mph and the cameras will have you and that's another £60 to the government + the extra tax they will make on your insurance premium hike.
Try stopping even. You can't park anywhere without having to pay again; you're paying to park on the roads that you already paid to build and continue to pay to maintain via other taxes. Why should we have to put money in a parking meter to park on the roads we paid to build? How can it even be legal that you can park on one road for free but have to pay to park on another road? It's bizarre!
Our council introduced a resident's parking scheme, which means I now have to pay to park outside my own house (annual permit). Thanks very much. Those who live in the next street are NOT in a resident's parking zone so they get to park for free. I pay the same council tax as they do so why should I have to pay again?
We paid for those bus lanes, why can't we use them? It's OUR road.

| | Platinum Account Customer | Re: Bus Lanes My mother and a friend were driving through London, on her way to visit her terminally ill brother and she has since received an enforcement notice from Transport for London for the “alleged contravention of being in a bus lane during the hours of operation.” The time of the alleged offence was 20.27 and it was along Chiswick High Road, W4. The roads were not congested and clearly there were no buses in the bus lane at the time. My mother cannot remember who was driving neither does she recall driving into the bus lane. The fine is £100! The alleged offence was on 03/06/06 and the date of the notice was 17/07/06. Further, at the top of the notice in bold type it states “Liability for the penalty charge lies with you, the owner.” It then goes on to detail the car registration number and the penalty charge notice.
Any thoughts on this?
I have suggested she asks for a copy of the video taped evidence that they apparently hold but aside from that, I think she will just have to pay.

I found this with a quick Google search:- Statutory Instrument 1997 No. 2402
If you scroll down you will see the permitted hours of the bus lane are 7am-7pm Monday to Friday.
This is also in the link too:-
(3) The controls specified in article 3(1) do not apply in respect of - - (a) a vehicle entering or stopping in a bus lane so as to avoid an accident;
(b) a vehicle entering or stopping in a bus lane to allow a person to get or give help in consequence of an accident or emergency or otherwise take action for public safety; (c) a vehicle crossing a bus lane in order to get to or from any road adjacent to the bus lane or any vehicular access to premises adjacent to the bus lane;
(d) a vehicle being in a bus lane to such an extent and for such a time as is needed to comply with any requirement resulting from works or an emergency in any part of the road adjoining the bus lane;
(e) a vehicle being used for ambulance, fire brigade or police purposes;
(f) a vehicle stopping in a bus lane if it has lawfully entered the bus lane and it has to stop -- (i) by law;
(ii) to avoid an accident;
(iii) in circumstances beyond the drivers control; Edit. Ignore the above. It seems they changed it to a 24 hour bus lane in 1999 Statutory Instrument 1999 No. 2127
Sorry  |

However, the relevant legislation does not recognise Public Holidays as any different from normal days - unless specifically detailed in the TRO and signed as such.
If there is no signage, then a bank holiday Monday is simply a Monday and any restrictions that apply on a 'normal' Monday, still apply. |
I am new to this, if I knew how to start a new thread maybe I would have done so! |

Bit contradictory, you have resident parking which stops other motorists from parking there! Can't have it both ways. |
