Bus Lane Violation

What kind of carrot would you like?
Something that reflects a contribution to society instead of being a drain...Whenever governments or councils etc want to stop a type of behaviour it is always penalty driven i.e. a fine
Whereas with a bit of thought an incentive could be offered to reward the behaviour that is desired.
e.g.
"Let's reduce the amount of traffic in London"
"Great idea what shall we do?"
"Charge people"
Whereas the other choice could be to make public transport more cost effective, more pleasant and enjoyable as well as reliable...

When the government wanted to encourage us out of high polluting cars, they offered a scrappage scheme plus low VED and low BIK for company car drivers to bribe us. So your theory doesn't stack up. Whereas with a bit of thought an incentive could be offered to reward the behaviour that is desired.

But for stuff like bus lanes, I don't see how they could reward you for not driving in it? Do you really expect a letter thru the post with a picture of you avoiding the bus lane and a cheque??
I got a fine last year and successfully contested it so they do relent in some cases

You have nothing to lose by challenging the PCN, and you never know, you might get lucky, like I did.
