Got done by a bus lane camera and received the PCN in the post yesterday.
Says the offence was on 20 April, date of issue of notice was 3 May, and I received it on 5 May.
I thought I read somewhere that you had to receive the PCN within 2 weeks of the offence.
Any views given that the PCN was issued within 2 weeks, but I received it after more than 2 weeks?

It is so annoying. I normally ride into work on the Finchley Road, where bikes are allowed in the bus lane. That day I went down the Edgware Rd, where they are not. Logical eh?
 
The notice has to be issued within two weeks to be valid. This can be stretched if the driver isn't the registered keeper and has to be tracked via leasing company etc.

Soory Nick but it looks like you're done.
 
paid it.
life's too short.
quicker I pay, the quicker I forget about it.
 
I got one 3 weeks ago from January! :eek:
Couldn't do anything as they had a photo of me grinning behind the wheel!

Road Traffic Act requires the vehicle owner to be notified within 14 days, otherwise invalid
