By an anpr camera in Taunton on mount way road. Yes I drove down it so fair enought however, two things, one the side we entered by the traffic lights, it didn't display any bus lane warnings until the other end where there were signs. The other issue is that they have changed the White writing on the road from buses only to buses and bikes (wtf) and the turning area right here. My point is if you don't know the road the retarded council ran fk wits (for st for brains) have got you!
wkers.
I'm thinking if contesting it for these two reasons. What do you think?
Oh and the profits they make, maybe they should invest it in their drivers, as they think their driving articulated lorries for fick sake, keep on your side, fat fk paedos.

If you think the signage is inadequate why not use the services of Pepipoo ?

Which way did you go into mountway road? coming out of taunton past the college or from silk mills past the hospice?

If the latter it's signed and there's a turning area so you can avoid the bus lane.
Latter.
Difficult to see at 5pm. Council can suck my dick. Unless public services wk

How long did it take to receive the fine? I went through the same one while delivering in Taunton 3 weeks ago I was hoping it was inactive. I couldn't be arsed to drive around sat nav had taken me that way to get to mountway lane. When coming back the other way you notice the vast amount of warning signs and the camera which is a bugger!
15th I was caught a Sunday.
So you came back where it diverts you?

I had the same(ish) recently

7:30pm on a Sunday. Clearly I was in the bus lane, but given the time/day I disputed it

Apparently the lane in question has been designated '24 hours' ...despite, well, not being 24 hours In use

They make the fines low enough people will just pay them and move on
Did you get away without paying?

Unlucky for getting trapped by the scameras.

I've been done twice and so has my brother in Reading, in similar circumstances to you, and I did contest mine. 3 months later and a load of letters and, no joke, a stack of 'evidence' an INCH THICK came through the post.

They'd hand written to me, telling me I was breaking the law, rules of road, etc. and had scanned across to me chapter and verse, and had got a bloke out to photograph the tarmac and cameras to back them up.

Still heard nothing so far, from a 'tribunal'.

No justification for this waste of their time and mine, let alone money, I mustve been in the lane for 2 seconds max on an empty road at night. Stupid.

If I were you, contest it just to make it a pain for them.

Good luck!
Did you get away with it?

Just to be clear - you did it? But you are contesting it because...?
Signage, road markings, lack of signage, hedge in way, not lit enough,ruan by monkeys, hate bus drivers., pay enough in tax, get enough money from us.
