Stopping at a bus stop.

I was once a passenger in a car that was stopped by the police when driving in a bus lane in Nottingham. The driver was asked why he was driving in the bus lane and he responded that it was out of its operating hours and that he'd been stopped for not driving in a bus lane in Manchester the week before. The officer grinned, said that he (the driver) couldn't win could he and sent us on our way!

Mainly because the signs saying when they are in operation are often extremely difficult to read in moving traffic. And may change the hours on the same road. I'm willing to bet absolutely no driver could keep up with all of them on many London streets. So unless already familiar with them, simply keep out of them at all times.

They are generally pretty good.

On a drive through part of London this morning, saw no less than three blacks cabs stopping at bus stops to pick up or drop off fares. Either they are exempt, or know where there are cameras. ;-)

Stop whining already.

Whether the 3 you saw had stopped legally depends on the cage markings. If broad yellow line at kerb then they were legal. If broad red they were not.

Google StreetView only shows a bus stop at the front entrance of Clapham Junction station. A notice says "No stopping except buses". Where is this rear entrance?

Thanks for explaining that. Not quite sure of the morality of allowing a taxi to drop off a passenger there, but not a private car.

Some way past the side entrance. ;-)

They pay fees for licenses that you don't pay for.

Next time, get out of the car and lift the bonnet up before your passenger makes their escape!

In this case, perhaps you can argue your passenger had a medical emergency and needed the loo?

WTF has morality got to do with it? Public transport. Private transport Can you not see the difference? FFS, you live in London which has to be the most anti-private transport city in the UK. Get a grip, luv.

Your starting point was "the rear entrance to Clapham Junction" but you've since been rather coy about just where. Are you saying now that it wasn't the Grant Road entrance at all but the Brighton Road one? If so that's a novel use of the label "rear".

I can't help but wonder why you haven't been clear about just where you stopped.

Because he is a disingenuous little s*it?

They can't stop anyway unless the plate says they can, the same as they can't use bus lanes unless the sign says they can.

Because he is a disingenuous little s*it?

Most Left Wing Labour supporting Immigrants are.

The plate is irrelevant to taxis. Taxis have a statutory exceptions under the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 (unless, as already indicated, it is a red route).

the same as they

Grant Road - called the rear entrance by locals. The front entrance is on St John's Hill, which is also the address of the station.

Can anyone tell me how to killfile this version of Wodney, without the real Pamela?
