The most expensive 54 seconds of my life

Edinburgh Council have got new toys.

Bus lanes operate after 16:00. This was taken at 16:00:54.
The humble speedo is allowed to be 10% out, why not the clock?

Thanks guys.

Harsh. Defo not worth challenging?

"Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law"

I suspect this will fall into that category, so I'll pay the fine and grumble a lot.

It'll be the last £30 they get from me though!

(Unless they've caught me again in the last 10 days and they're still being 'processed')

Driving in Edinburgh is the pits these days and the council is totally anti-car.

Anyone fancy organising a 5mph drive-through* some monday morning?

Hang on, no point. You'd never get up to 5mph in the rush hour!





*If anyone from Her Majestys Constabulary is reading this, it's a wee joke. I'm not trying to organise chaos and social disorder. The council are doing a fab job without my help.

Bad luck.

Oh, London traffic warden jobsworths were ordered to ticket EVERYTHING not exceeding time limits & only drop the case just before you walked into court to defend it. They gambled you'd not take the day off work etc...

Councils are famous for their concealed corruption.

I feel your pain, Edinburgh is really bad to drive/park in these days, that's why I usually just get teh bus in these days (when I'm home that is)

RESULT!

The very nice people at Edinburgh Council have decided it was all a mistake and they'll be refunding all the fines they scammed (I mean "erroneously collected") from the cameras on Willowbrae Road.

I'd like to thank the council for noticing the mistake and rectifying it in a prompt manner, without causing unneccessary distress to 4,301 innocent motorists.

Good skills.
