Beware new bus lane camera on Lordship Lane near junction of Overhill Road

you ask me the question whether you can make the turn at Overhill without clipping the bus lane. Of course you can

So if there is zero need to enter the bus lane and there are signs and road markings making it clear that it is a bus lane, where is the 'trap' exactly?

I’m assuming all this tedious nonsense about bus lanes is the result of your getting caught in one? If so, and if you believe the circumstances were unfair, perhaps try appealing the fine before creating a whole conspiracy narrative across multiple threads?

…thats assuming you weren’t just cutting up the inside of some traffic to turn left of course.

Earl, you appear to have missed/ignored my question to you...;-)

The question is a nonsense; a typical attempt at deflection. There is no reason to drive in either bus lane (as you’ve accepted). So there is no ‘trap’. 

Nah...it's a legitimate question in the context of the thread and discussion. And a question you clearly are not prepared to answer - we can only hazard a guess as to why.....;-)

I'll answer, it's an irrelevant question as anyone with proper control of their vehicle would.t clip the white line in either junction. Time to move on...

Time to get your blinkers off.

Ha ha....another who is afraid to answer....

All of the assembled evidence presented is clear (to anyone not blinkered by their own vested interest)....;-)

[malumbu]

You've had my view, couldn't give a monkeys about either junction.  For your own sanity perhaps time to move on.

[Rockets]

Malumbu - I am not sure you're allowed to say that anymore are you....haven't you been warned about that before?

Anyway, as a community-minded person I am merely looking out for my neighbours and postcode peers - so watch out folks - Southwark is laying revenue-generating traps for you - be one your guard!!!

There-ends the public service announcement.....;-)

@Rockets If your bus lane fine was issued incorrectly, why not appeal it? This really is embarrassing.

The number of successful appeals is very small, but shows that the system works in that occasionally PCNs could be issued incorrectly/there were special circumstances.

My two appeals in the distant past were not successful and whilst I felt a bit like Rockets at the time I now realise it was futile as I did not have a valid reason.  So this whole thread about you being upset about a justified bus lane fine won't change a thing.  Another thread that to me feels pointless so I am now no longer posting on this one too.  Very liberating 

[Rockets]

You're back! Hurrah!

I love how Malumbu always has to announce he is not posting anymore but then keeps popping up. It is amazing the time and energy some put into what they claim are non-existent issues.
