Default Caught driving on a bus lane by camera - what to do?


"Volker Finke" wrote in message
om...
I was recently filmed on video by a camera while driving on a

bus
lane. I was sent a ticket two days ago, demanding a fine of £50

which
will be increased to £100 if I don't pay within 14 days.
As it happens, I sold the car I used in this incident a few

weeks
back. I was told that if you no are no longer the owner of a

car that
tickets were issued to you don't have to pay them since

auhorities
will eventually give up bothering you. Does the same thing

apply to
driving in bus lanes?
Does anyone know? Please let me know soon. I have got to 9

October to
pay before the amount doubles.
Thanks in advance


The offence was committed whilst you were still the registered
keeper, this is one reason why you have to send in the dated slip
on the V5. They will pursue you for the fine and, if it goes to
court/bailiffs you will have to pay costs. You WILL be chased up
for this so you'd be better off paying immediately and getting
away with the smallest possible fine.
