so I got cut up by a bus driver almost had a collision and was forced to drive though a bus station today on my birthday! I live in Croydon so if you know the area you would know west Croydon station.. anyways here is the view https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.378643,-0.100943...

I drove through it, they was currently rebuilding so the station was all closed off and smashed down... anyways I asked several drivers after I parked up about the incident ( I wanted to find the driver that cut me up I was fuming ) they said yep its restricted you will get fined etc etc ... 65 quid one said 200 quid :O

if anyone knows any info or advise to help me calm down please do.. I worried now im get fined and lose money for getting into road rage when I shouldn't have frown

ps.. do you get fined for driving into stations..

Cant see any cameras, so you might be ok. Looking at the picture i cant see how another driver has forced you through that no entry.

You might want to get your brakes looked at. And your eyesight...

look at this view https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.378495,-0.100754...

the place was all being worked on looks far more confusing than you think and several of the lanes weren't even there so don't worry brakes are fine and my eyes.

just want to know if anyone has had a fine driving into a station

You should be ok, they will check your date of birth first and see it was your birthday so you shouldn't get a fine.

Yep, still says "BUSES ONLY" in large letters between the two big red (-) signs.

So how, exactly, did this bus "force" you through there?

The fact it's a station, open or closed, is irrelevant. Rather more to the point is the bloody great big (-) BUSES ONLY (-) signage. There's what is commonly known as a "clue" there. And, yes, lots of blind idiots have been nicked for ignoring road signs telling them not to do what they promptly went and did.

you are absolutely right, the bus lane you see in the photo was full of buses and the driver drove out and forced me to swerve, the road is a dead end but I made a mistake wrong turning I didn't know what to do. I missed the sign cause the bus was in front. I saw it later when I went back.

im only asking dude. thanks for your input anyway, appreciate it.

Go and ask your mum for the dictionary. It's good to use words of your own to show what a big boy you are.

I'm not sure how you managed to get forced into that road having looked at google street view but you can probably expect the standard 'bus lane' fine which is typically £100 reduced to £50 if paid within 30 days.

You can appeal though of course and use the mitigation of the bus cutting you off and the fact it was your birthday.

As someone who spends a lot of time in croydon I don't have a clue how you getting up in the bus station.

I am not sure what the signage is like now they are doing building but anyone with an ounce of local knowledge knows that the road leading up to the bus garage just does that - leads to the bus garage.
