(BUS LANE) ENFORCEMENT NOTICE - REJECTION OF APPEAL - CHARLTON
CHURCH LANE JNC WITH BARNEY CLOSE
DIR By: Scholar

---------------------------------------------------------
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are well,
I have appealed for a bus lane ticket, but my representation has
been rejected:
For context, I have a wide bodykit conversion on my car which
totals it's width to 6'8"; and my navigation (which has been set
to avoid such routes) lead me to a 6'6" width restrictor, in
Chalrton, South East London.
Also, the road I turned in from has zero Advance Warning Signs
indicating this width restrictor is approaching (Which the
council admits) so there is no way to know that this is
approaching.
I simply used the bus designated lane, to the left of the width
restrictors, for a total of 3 seconds in total and then moved
right back into the primary lane, in order to avoid inevitable
damage to my car and to the council's property.
I believed that performing a U-turn at that location was not the
safest option and could have posed a risk to other road users,
but according to the council, I should have turned into another
road once I saw the width restrictors ahead, I find this invalid
as if it was 7'0" restrictors I could have gone in without
issue, but due to no advance warning signs I did not know what
the size would be until I was approaching them directly,
Do you think this is worth a further appeal to the traffic
adjudicator, or should I just pay the increased £160 charge now.
Gutted as it was not a deliberate attempt to use the bus lane to
try gain advantage etc. just a true attempt at trying to drive
in the manner which was most suitable at the time,
Thank you!

Why pay the £160 now when it is a no-brainer to take them to
London Tribunals for the same amount. There are no additional
costs, and you could win based on their inadequate signage.
Can you please post the PCN or EN, as we need to see it/them. If
it is served under the London Local Authorities Act 1996, there
is a little-known feature of it that could see you win on a
technicality.
Hippocrates is expert in this so will no doubt PM you to
explain.

By coincidence I am going to Charlton Church lane now, if you
need any photos, let me know.
What was your route to restriction?
i.e. Did you drive all the way down Charlton Church Lane, or
arrive from a side road?

I believe I am taking care of this one as from today. As
Greenwich do watch, best stay silent re route etc.
