I was sitting in traffic on Southampton Row on 20/03/2012 at 17:48. As there was traffic ahead and to the side (and I was turning left further ahead) I decided it would be safer to turn earlier to avoid being stranded in the middle lane. I did not think this would classify as "driving in the bus lane" as only two wheels crossed the solid bus lane before the broken line began. I was very surprised to received PCN from Camden council with both photos and video of the event. Having checked the Parking and Traffic Appeals Service (PATAS) database, I contested the PCN but this has been rejected and they are asking me to make "formal representation" not sure how to do this other than write a letter to them explaining what I have already explained over email (has anyone got any examples/ advice on this?). There is precedent for an appeal against the exact same "contravention" see below link case ref 2120055756 being allowed. patasregistersofappeals.org.uk/StatReg/case.aspx?caseref=2120055756 siolohrasb.zxq.net/page2.html My car is marked by the blue arrow, the yellow box marks the end of the bus lane and the red arrow indicates the start of the broken lines. So, my question is as Camden council are no doubt aware of the previous ruling (in November) against them for the exact same thing why would they put me through the same crap? (the answer can only be they are hoping that I would just pay up and forget about it) I wonder how many others have fallen into this trap? So I have posted this, hopefully with the right tags, to help other/ future victims. Having said that I hope I win my "de minimis" appeal!
