An analysis by the AA reveals that numerous London drivers are unjustly burdened by traffic fines that should not have been issued due to outdated documents. Recent rulings indicate that six councils have improperly enforced restrictions, prompting a potential overhaul of Traffic Management Orders (TMOs) governing these rules. Additionally, London Councils report that for 2023/24, over 56% of bus lane fine appeals were resolved in favor of the drivers, highlighting systemic issues within the traffic enforcement framework. This raises concerns about the financial strain on drivers forced to contest fines.
Thousands of London drivers are paying traffic fines which should not have been issued, an AA analysis reveals.
A revamp of Traffic Management Orders (TMOs) which govern local road restrictions is now being proposed.
The AA also analysed statistics from London Councils which showed 56 per cent of appeals made by drivers against bus lane fines in the city were either upheld or not contested.
Combined, the successful appeals represent nearly 7,300 cases.
