Bus Lane Penalty Charge Notice.
I have just received a penalty charge which includes a photo of my car just entering the bus lane. The bus lane is about thirty metres long and there is no other car in site or bus in the lane..
I honestly wasn't aware that you could be charged for entering an empty bus lane. Serves me right doesn't it? I won't do it again!

There will be a sign to display the times of day the Bus Lane is in operation. Go back to the spot on foot and see if its there. IF not you might have grounds. But by the sounds of it you have no defence and the penalty will apply.
Non-payment will only invite a further penalty and court action so pay up promptly within the time stated on the communication you've received.
Its always a bit of a shock when you get zapped by these cameras but by tomorrow you'll realise you're one of the many people they catch each day across the country and we're not all staring at you!

How did they know you were not a mum and toddler? And wasn't there any other place to park? I would have thought they would be glad of any shoppers to buy their goods, but there you go. I also think you should not park in the disabled bays, but do wonder about the parent and children. After all I could say I was the mother (aged 85 nearly) and my daughter (aged 54 or thereabouts although she won't admit to it) was the child.
I've already paid it. I rang them, Euro Car Parks and paid by the automated service.
I made a fuss at Sainsbury's but they said it was not their responsibility. The duty manager even escorted me to the car park and showed me the official notices. I didn't think I could just ignore it, so I paid.
I got the parking charge notice whilst I was doing my stint in the charity shop. Flippin' 'eck.
