So part of your car was in a bus stop for four minutes, and you feel hard done by getting a ticket? Good grief!

It should be pointed out the Highway Code was updated in 2007 and so the relevant Rule is now numbered 243.

For the benefit of pauljbw6, here is the full current Highway Code...

Unfortunately I am not able to provide a link to set aside a period of time to enable pauljbw6 to read it.

You've not indicated what actual markings there were at the bus stop.

If there was a single, broad, solid yellow line (as there often is at bus stops) no stopping is allowed during the times displayed on the adjacent plate. Even pulling up for a few seconds (e.g. to allow a passenger to jump out) is an offence.
