I know that you consider speed cameras are largely a means to raise extra income, so what is your opinion of bus lane cameras on pointless bus lanes? By pointless I mean short lengths of bus lane just before a junction where the bus gets trapped in the traffic anyway. Many bus lanes are also dangerous. On several occasions, when driving in the bus lane outside its operating period, I have been nearly sideswiped by drivers who have not read the small notice indicating when the lane is in operation; consequently they do not check the left hand lane before swerving in at the end of the bus lane. We have just had to pay out £30 because our son drove my wife's car along such a bus lane and was caught on CCTV. The photograph clearly shows that the traffic was light and there is no bus in sight. In my opinion this is a complete misuse of council powers and the electorate should rebel against bus lanes in general and trivial lengths of bus lane in particular.
