PCN For Bus Lane Contravention - Bugsby's Way SE7 Outside Makro
SE7
DIR By: jrob
Date: November 26, 2025, 8:57 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I received a PCN for a bus lane contravention a while ago (date
of contravention 26/10/2025).
I appealed because the reason I entered the bus lane was that
there was a stationary car in front of me, which I had assumed
was broken down. I was turning left anyway in about 50m, and
while it would be theoretically possible, since I was turning
left a short distance later, it would be unsafe to then move
across 2 lanes to do so.
They rejected my appeal.
What should I do?
This is the video (I'm the blue car)

This is a council PCN so I have moved this post to the Civil
penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on)
HTML https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/<br
/>forum.
To help the users there provide you with the best advice, please
read the following thread carefully and provide as much of the
information it requests as you are able to: READ THIS FIRST -
**BEFORE POSTING YOUR CASE!**, This section is for council, TFL,
Dart/Mersey/Tyne etc. cases

I will leave it to the experts to comment on your case, but at
face value, this does not seem a particularly convincing
argument, given that the vehicle in front is still moving when
the video starts, and is clearly stopping due to a queue of
traffic ahead.
