• question re: bus lanes 5 Nov 2002 (Forum)
  Having recently been fined (and not for the 1st time) for contravening a bus lane, I no longer look to drive in them. BUT.... some bus lanes here in London are 24 hour ones, but there are no 24 hour bus services to drive in them. Isn't this a little bit strange?

  I am not one for causing upsets with my neighbours but I have a case, at present, where I do not feel obliged to back down. We have quite a long frontage on our house and we do, occasionally, leave our cars parked on the road, rather than on our drive, which is just big enough to take two cars
