Warning Issued to Drivers at Risk of £70 Fines This Winter - How to Avoid

Drivers risk £70 fines for bus lane violations, reduced to £35 if paid early, as experts advise careful attention to signs and headlights during darker winter months.

  • This winter, drivers face a £70 fine for driving in bus lanes as experts at CarMats.co.uk warned signs and markings are easier to miss in towns and city centres.
  • Reduced visibility causes drivers to drift into bus lanes without realising, especially motorists on unfamiliar routes who may miss lane markings and signs.
  • CarMats.co.uk recommends watching for bus road signs and white lane markings, using headlights in darker months, and employing satnav systems or route planning to avoid fines.
  • The fine drops to £35 if paid within 21 days or challenged through an appeal process, so drivers who act promptly can reduce their financial burden.
  • With dark nights rolling in, more drivers have begun researching bus lane fines amid fears of being caught out, so experts urge checking bus lane operating hours and researching unfamiliar routes before travel.
