Heath Road Twickenham: 3 lanes, one for parking next to pavement, then bus lane, then lane for everyone. A car came up to park in a parking place I was just leaving from. In order to kindly get out of his way I drove off (and I might say it also resulted in him not remaining stationery in a bus lane). I HAD to cross bus lane to get to the other lane. But another car was coming along so rather than stop, which would have been ludicrous given that there were NO other vehicles anywhere near let alone a bus, I continued slowly along bus lane for, wait for this.....FIVE car lengths as per the camera. Bang Wallop £130 fine, reduced to £65 if I pay within 28 days. Is this SUCH a terrible crime? How many car lengths are you allowed? |
