Islington 34J Being in a bus lane in Clerkenwell Road [Zone C]

Hi all,
I’ve received a PCN 34J for “Being in a bus lane” on Clerkenwell
Road (Zone C). From the council’s video, it isn’t very clear,
but from what I remember there was heavy traffic with cars
queuing to turn right into Farringdon Lane. I continued straight
to bypass the queue and didn’t realise I would be crossing into
the bus lane.
Has anyone dealt with a similar situation here? Do you think
there are any grounds for challenging this, or is it better to
just pay the reduced fine?
I only have 3 days left to pay at the discounted rate, so I’d
really appreciate any quick advice.
Thanks.

Well, please get your links working if you're in a hurry ! This
is what I get when I click on your link: -

Please do not redact PCN Number and car reg because we need to
view their video, the sole evidence of the alleged
contravention.

[member=5493]Tod[/member]. PM received. Send us the PCN and VRM
details and do not pay anything. The 14 days is just the start
of the game. At the end of it, they MUST attend the hearing at
the Tribunal OR their evidence is inadmissible. I am here for
you throughout the whole process.

Sorry about that – yesterday the Imgur link was working, but it
looks like Imgur has recently been blocked in the UK. I’ve
reuploaded the files here instead:

Thank you for your help, Hippocrates – I really appreciate your
support.

Thanks for the reply. What is the strategy here? With my
previous PCNs I had to challenge first, then when rejected, take
it to the tribunal where the council folded. How are we going to
approach it in this case?

BEFORE you make a challenge, pleas screenshot the page and also
afterwards as it is far too general.
Challenge: The video does not support the alleged contravention
as it shows no upright signs allegedly passed. plea cancel
therefore.

Hi, sorry for the late response — for some reason I wasn’t
notified that I’d received your message.I just realised I’d
forgotten to click “notify” on this thread, so I didn’t see your
message earlier. It should be fine now.
I’ve just received the second letter from the council. Before I
make the challenge, I’ll take a screenshot of the page as you
advised, both before and after submitting it.
Just to confirm, the wording for the challenge should be:
“The video does not support the alleged contravention as it
shows no upright signs allegedly passed. Please cancel
therefore.”
Is that correct?
Thanks again for your help.
