Mansfield Road Sheffield - Bus lane 34J

I have received the following which I am extremely annoyed
about.
As shown in the PCN photos there was a long queue of cars in the
right hand lane during rush hour, and there was a queue after
the traffic lights also filling the left lane. Since I saw the
"END OF BUS LANE" sign I falsely believed I could safely move
over a few cars before the sign so as not to block the right
hand lane while waiting in hope that someone would left me into
the left lane. The video also captures me indicating and moving
into the lane at the last minute showing that I was using the
correct lane the rest of the time.
All common sense driving to get in your lane at a suitable time
and not try to cut into traffic but this camera is clearly
designed to extort that.

There's no defence for any of these three drivers - undercutting
traffic like this is tempting but not in a bus lane provided it
is properly signed.
There may be something in the PCN or website.
You left your name and address showing.

I wasn't trying to undercut at all, I thought since it was
signed end of bus lane it was okay to move over on approach to
the sign, and since the lanes were jammed it made every sense
to.

To be clear it is this end of bus lane sign by the traffic
lights, which seem to have separate lights for buses?

Yes it is, and I hadn't even considered separate lights to be
honest, I just saw the sign and read it as a "get in lane" type
sign especially with the traffic ahead.
I've checked the guidelines for cancellation and it does say if
the vehicle cuts the end of the lane to turn left they may
cancel it

The "End of Bus Lane" sign marks the spot where it ends, it is
not an invitation to enter the bus lane before it ends. Councils
dine out very generously on people moving into a bus lane early
for left turns. Just look at the notorious Whipps Cross bus
lane. I've never, ever, seen a bus in the videos for this site.
