effing Congestion Charge
« on: April 09, 2011, 03:40:57 PM »
Ok, I made a mistake  ::). I studiously avoid the congestion charge and have never been done for entering it. A couple of weeks ago I was driving along a road near it and wanted to pay a brief visit to a shop off to the left. To call it a minor road would be an under statement and there was traffic behind me. As I turned in I saw the big C on the road but couldn't stop for fear of being shunted  Shrugs:
I did a speedy 3 point turn and came out again... the bleddy camera's caught it  evil:. Is it worth going to "representation"? If the camera caught me going in it will have caught me coming out less than 90 seconds later  confused:

Bastard cameras!  evil:

I have a blue badge .... London doesn't recognise these inside the congestion area for parking purposes, one has to apply for summat else.
Whilst doing so I discovered that I seem to have also applied for and been granted exemption from Congestion Charging.  angel1

 surrender:  And now a PCN for having two wheels in a bus lane for about 20 yards   Shrugs:
I've just looked at all 6 cam captures and video  eeek: . Monday 20th June, early evening, it's pi$$ing down and I make a left turn on a green light into the main road which immediately has a bus lane and I'm moving out of it eventually  evil: evil:  Buggerybollox!

Another 65 quid into the council's coffers  noooo:

Bastards!

They catch so many like that. It's meant to be for inconsiderate pricks that drive along it, not just clip it. More indirect taxation  cussing:
