Hi folks,

I need a wee bit of help.

My other half received a notice for breaching a bus lane.

The photo shows her car with nearside wheels on the thick, white dividing line.

Her car did not straddle this line.

Is this a breach, or is it worthy of appeal?

Interestingly, the photo shows a car behind hers, clearly straddling the line.

What do you think?

Cheers

I thought my description was clear enough to enable you to pass comment.

Thank you for the replies.

I believe from everything I can see that both nearside wheels need to straddle the line for an offence to occur.

The only photo supplied does not show this to be the case, and so she will appeal on this basis.

I'm willing to bet that the LA will reject her representations.
It's normally the standard first response MO that all of them adopt.
She may need to be prepared for it to go before an independent adjudicator.

If a single still photo is all the LA has she may have a chance.
Don't bet on this being the case though.
The camera will have tracked her for the operator to get a hard on.

Why do you think the car behind is of interest in any way?
The actions of its driver have nothing whatsoever to do with the allegation against her.

Btw, why do you believe both n/s wheels need to have crossed the line?
The only car shown straddling the white line is the one behind hers.
The bit about two wheels straddling is something I've seen mentioned elsewhere, but I stand to be corrected if wrong.
I'm not sure, hence this post.
