I've just been done for yet another £65 for coming to a split second halt with my rear wheels on the yellow hatching frown Must be about 6 times in the last 3 years. I know that it is my own fault as by the letter of the law I am in the wrong, but given how many people I see doing it (one car every 5 mins easily during the day, so say 12 an hour for 12 hrs x £65 = £3M+ per year) and given that they seem to be so anal with it without fail, I'm wondering if they're using it as a deliberate earner. It seems to me to be the equivalent of the police sitting there with a speed camera and doing everyone for 32 in a 30 zone i.e. legal but taking the piss.

Anyone else been "caught" there? Misery loves company hehe

I haven't but I know people who have. There is an ambulance bay in the centre to the right which is probably why they justify the camera.

Maybe someone needs to repaint that camera lens, perhaps use black paint, to stop this illegal cash collection.
