Free-flowing traffic is essential to keeping London moving. But it can take just one inconsiderate driver ignoring road signs or driving in a bus lane during operational hours to cause jams and clog up the system. This time, it was me :). In my defence it was a bank holiday Monday a couple of weeks back. I mean seriously, Sundays & Bank Holidays are like free-for-all days, right? Wrong.

TfL is responsible for governing the 580km red route network and carry 35 per cent of the city's traffic. The remaining roads are maintained by the 33 London boroughs. TfL have kindly given me a 50% reduction on my £100 fine, because I paid up within 14 days of their letter, oh I can't contain the joy, a discount. Yipeee!!

I am going to now try and see if I can appeal the matter, wish me luck!
