Oh traffic knowledgeable folk on Fab.
I have in my hand a penalty notice accusing me of being in a bus lane. The picture shows only a bit of one wheel of the car I was driving on the solid line between my lane and the bus lane.
Do you think I have a case to appeal?
The last penalty notice I got was about 18 years ago so I've no idea about all this stuff. |

All I know is that in Rugby if part of the ball is on the line then it's a try, but in Football the whole of the ball has to be completely across the line for a goal to be awarded

Id appeal it, you could have had to swerve at that moment or anything to cause a bit of one wheel, you were travelling in your lane and you werent directly in it to pass traffic |

That's exactly what I was thinking! |

You may have swerved to avoid a pothole?
I think they're taking the piss a bit as you wasn't actually in the bus lane, just a tyre on the boundary line.
I'd appeal. |

I think there should be two pictures. One to show where you started driving and the other to show how far. You may have a case for dismissal.
IANAL so I would advise getting proper legal advice from a reputable source. |

A lot of solicitors offer a free 30 min consultation- maybe it's worth a try. I would appeal.
I believe the white line is referred to as ghosting and doesn't qualify as an infraction, but I am no expert. You need one. Good luck Tops x |
