I managed to get my first fine in England, for driving on a road designated for buses only.

The whole situation was a bit of a catch-22. I saw the sign indicating that the road was closed to other vehicles, so I stopped. Immediately, a bus pulled up behind me. As a result, I couldn't reverse onto the bypass, and I couldn't turn around because there was a pedestrian crossing. I had no choice but to break the rule and drive on.

The fine arrived exactly a week later and was for £70. However, there's a 50% discount if you pay within 21 days, so it ended up costing me £35.
Interestingly, you can even download the video of the violation, which you can watch 😄

Have you ever found yourself in similar situations?
