Apparently, according to the PSV trade press the word "Local" is important
here.If the sign on the entrance to the bus lane reads "Local Buses Only" you
can't take a coach in. On the other hand, if it just reads "Buses Only" you can
- because DVLA in their wonderfully obfuscative way licence "Coaches" as
"Buses".

I'd say that was logical, as local bus services (or indeed
long-distance coach services) can often be operated using either type
of vehicle, and there are plenty of buses about which blur the
definition somewhat.

If the local bus service in this situation was operated using a coach,
you could of course drive it in the bus lane. It is the fact that it
is operating a registered local bus service that matters, not what the
vehicle is (so long as it has more than 9 seats including the driver).

Sorry, I am afraid I did not explain the situation very clearly. I
sold the car two days after I was caught on camera driving on a bus
lane. That means that I actually committed the offense while still
being the registered keeper.
I now would like to find out my chances of getting away without paying
on the grounds of having already sold the car. Basically, I would like
to know what would be expecting me if I ignore the fine.

You sold the guy a car not a bus lane violation fine. So just pay up, and
don't
do it again. You drove the car into the bus lane after all, it didn't get
there
on its own did it?



That's a point!

Pending violation fine - sale of goods act?

Is that someone with an irrational hatred of faces?

No, it's someone who's prejudiced against some people because of their
face.

That's what I meant.

No because the violation fine is against the registered keeper at
the time the offence was committed. The fine doesn't 'travel' to
the new owner along with the car

What if the new owner does not re-register the ownership?

The 'old' owner does that by sending the V5 slip back to DVLA.
Even if he didn't, he would still show as the registered keeper
at the time of the offence so owuld be chased for the fine

This of course is avoiding the primary issue of not where we want to be
but how we are to get there in either of my two Jags, when access to
flats in Clapham are blocked by backtracking aslef members blocking
the route on which we will not backtrack, I hope this clears the matter
up as we are still looking into it.

Nice one - even reproduces Prescott's incoherency of speech perfectly, and
epitomises someone with a Third in Economics from Hull, like him! But I thought
access to flats he's interested in in Clapham was shortly to be blocked by an
eviction order brought in the High Court by RMT rather than "backtracking aslef
members".

Pretend to be "two Jags" (or should that be "two Jabs", after he punched some
guy in the face during the last election campaign?). But get yer facts right to
make the story credible please :-)
