Man of Honour
Get them to wave in the picture?
I stated that I overtook the car on my left (in the bus lane) because the car was waiting to park on the right hand side of the road.How did you word the appeal? Just overtake or overtake a stationary car? That could make the difference.
Yes I did enter the bus lane.Did you enter the bus lane?
Is the fine for entering a bus lane?
Sadly, at this moment in time the money mean more to me.I would fight it, if everyone was to contest all these ridiculous tickets then they would need to do something about being realistic with fines.
I know people that contest everything and they actually do win most of the time but it’s a risk and you could affectively double or triple the fine amount if you loose.
What means more to you the principle or the money
This is rather disturbing. In the past I am sure I have entered the bus lane to allow an ambulance to go past. In future should I not enter the bus lane when the restriction applies even if it means not allowing an emergency service to pass me with its blue light and siren operatingAs you say, it is the principle - stay out of bus lanes - AT ALL TIMES.

Let the ambulance enter the bus lane. Surely if bus lane is free its the sensible route for it to go rather than wait for cars to move into it
Drivers in emergency vehicles are trained for the scenario, and will move around you where necessary
I'm feeling a bit wobbly.
I had to enter the bus lane to manoeuvre away from a car (idiot) who entered my lane to overtake a bus. He was doing in excess of 30 mph. It was either I move out the way or stay put to discover the consequences of my action.
No. I found out that the insurance will not reduce by much. Not worth it. So no dashcamDo you have a dashcam?

I see, point taken.its not there to help reduce your insurance each year, its there to protect you
my last accident, a van pulled out at me on a roundabout, he was lying , he was saying a different road and i went into the back of him
dashcam proved otherwise
Fortunately, even though there are bus lane cameras along this entire road, TfL don't issue tickets here as they are reasonable (as they know these are obstructions on the road). I believe they allow brief entrance into a bus lane as long as it isn't to beat a column of traffic (to turn left for example).
But there was a massive increase because in 2016/17, there were 26,000 fines issued by cameras across the city but in the last financial year that figure shot up to 46,300. These numbers have raised the fine income from £589,000 in 2016/17 to £1.1 million.
And data for Newmarket Road just obtained by Cambridgeshire Live found from May 2017 to April 30 2019 there were 6,568 fines issued on the busy road inbound and 9,339 for cars flouting the bus lane ban heading out of the city.
