🚗💸 Cardiff Drivers, Beware! 💸🚗
If you’ve been driving around Cardiff, you might want to keep a close eye on those bus lanes! Over the past three years, more than 100,000 fines have been issued for driving in bus lanes, racking up a whopping £2.9 million for the council. That’s a lot of cash for cruising where you shouldn’t!
One hotspot in particular has caught out a staggering number of drivers: the westbound bus lane on Custom House Street tops the list with over 20,900 tickets issued. With bus lane penalties set at £70 (which can be halved if you pay up within 21 days), ignoring these fines can lead to hefty costs.
But what happens to all that money? It’s channelled straight back into making Cardiff’s roads better, funding everything from transport improvements to environmental upgrades. So, in a way, your unintended contribution might just make your future drives a bit smoother.
Heads up, Cardiff commuters: don’t let this common slip-up catch you out. Stick to the rules and keep your money in your pocket!
