LONDON DRIVERS

[JMBMWM5]

Watch out for this little scam IMO.

Junction Jamaica Road and Southwark Park south.

When approaching the this junction from Southwark Park road there is a clear Right hand Filter lane marked with a right hand Arrow, but if you turn right you get an £80.00 FINE!!!!.

I phoned Transport of London for clarification and got sweet FA from the numpty on the line, I asked to speak to the person in charge and got the same answers "we cant see the filter lane on the Video we sent you".

They had carefully "avoided showing it". £80.00 down the toilet.

Beware.

This?

[Mammasaid]

This, with the numerous 'No Right Turn' signs

(This is the closest I could get Streetview to show)

£80 fine because you are not a bus or a taxi? What am I missing?

Can you clarify that a bit. Something isn't right.

If that is a realistic drawing of the road markings, and the signs are as shown in the streetview below it, then there is nothing wrong with that.

Traffic Signs Manuals Chapters 3, 5 and 6 cover it.

Yes when my wife was driving though she was folling others and saw the Right hand filter arrow not looking at the lights as they were green, we do not drive in London much .

I think you probably need to remove the "scam" line, I don't think missing that many signs makes it a scam!

It’s not a scam. You were in an unfamiliar area and didn’t follow the road signs correctly so you got fined. End of the thread really
