PS. Why were you in a bus lane in the first place? Did you not think about
been fined?

No, of course not! I looked out for cameras while driving along but
could not see one. It was obviously well hidden.
Why was I there? I was in a hurry and wanted to bypass traffic. But
please, let us not make this a moral thing. I am trying to get away
with not paying a ticket here and would like to know which
consequences likely.

Yeah, like that's not, "a moral thing." FFS, pay up, shut up, and
decide in future whether whatever "hurry" you are in is worth £50.

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.

Does not stand up in court if you refuse to pay the fine "because you are no
longer the owner". My gf transferred her new car a few weeks ago and she had
to sign a document confirming at date and time she was no longer the
registered driver for that vehicle. This was for both parties interest just
in case the vehicle was involved in a criminal activity (i.e. driven
dangerous, driven along bus lanes, speeding or if was involved in an
accident).

I am not thinking as far as court procedures. What I hope is that
authorities will eventually give up pursuing the matter since I no
longer own the car. Any experience?


They won't. The fact you no longer own is it irrelevant.

If you consistently ignore the matter you will end up with a County
Court Judgement against. Expect bailiffs - and a totally shagged
credit record.

I have exempted you from any charge, and it is now cancelled.
You won't have to do anything, just forget about it and get on
with your life. You won't hear another word.
Hope that puts your mind at rest.

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.

Facist!

No, of course not! I looked out for cameras while driving along but
could not see one. It was obviously well hidden.

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.

PS. Please continue to be selfish by using the bus lanes.

Could the police charge someone for 'undertaking when using a bus lane?

Only if they were filmed driving a hearse ;-)

Unlikely, since there is no offence of "undertaking when not using
a bus lane".
