A driver has been fined \u00a3130 for pulling into a bus lane to let an ambulance pass.
By Fran WayPictures show James Sheridan-Vigor stopping in the bus lane on Whipps Cross Road in Walthamstow, East London, to let the ambulance pass by.But weeks later, the council has given into the pressure and cancelled the bill.
James said: “Even after I appealed they said they issued it correctly and that emergency vehicles have the right to use the bus lane so myself 'would be more likely to obstruct their path than assist them' - which I totally understand," "So what I’m getting from this is they’ve either made a mistake looking at the evidence. Or we’re not supposed to help out our emergency services and get out of their way."
"I must advise that emergency vehicles may use the bus lane when responding to an emergency and therefore entering a bus lane when dealing with an emergency vehicle would be more likely to obstruct their path than assist them.
