Thank you very much for your efforts here. I am very grateful.
I've not yet submitted the appeal. Should I augment the original
draft to reflect in bold :
I am writing to appeal a recent penalty charge notice received
for briefly drifting into a bus lane while making a left turn.
The incident occurred on a road the driver does not regularly
travel, and their momentary lapse was not an attempt to exploit
the bus lane. It was an unintended mistake while navigating
unfamiliar roads. Importantly, this the drivers first offence of
this nature, and the incursion into the bus lane was on a
de-minimis basis, with no disruption to traffic flow or safety -
furthermore, there was no intention to gain any advantage over
any other motorist.Furthermore, the make and model of the bus
lane enforcement camera for this carriageway (TES Small Blue
Enforcement CCTV Camera - Model Blue GEN2 is not listed on the
certification of “APPROVED DEVICES” under ARTICLE 2(b) OF THE
BUS LANES (APPROVED DEVICES) (ENGLAND) ORDER 2005
Considering the minimal nature of the infringement, the drivers
commitment to safe driving, and this being a first-time offence,
I respectfully request your discretion in cancelling the fine.

[member=1653]DavidJP[/member] no you don't want to mention
anything about the camera authorisation, there is no reason to
show your hand at this stage. I think what you put in reply 7
above is fine at this point.

Unfortunately, I have been issued a charge certificate - despite
not being given an indication on the outcome of my appeal.
Grateful for any advice - should I dispute or pay? I'm really
annoyed that they never bothered to tell me the outcome of the
appeal.

Go onto their website and look up the event log for your PCN.
Most councils have these available on-line. Post it here if you
can get it.
The backstop for this CC is to wait for the Order for Recovery,
then submit a Witness Statement that will reset the matter to
the PCN stage.

Thank you.
Rather frustratingly there is no electronic log on their website
when I log into see my PCN!
Do I need to wait now to dispute? I'm tempted to call them and
ask them where their response to my appeal is.

I wouldn't do that, it would just cause delays.

Rather than going through TEC I filed an out-of-time appeal with
the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, and the council decided not to
contest the case. The reason they gave was: "The authority no
longer wishes to contest this appeal due to an administrative
error."
