Tell them the truth, some low life C%$? spiked your last three drinks at the pub and you were blind drunk and didn't know what the

F$&? was 'appenin',

and if the bill were any good at detecting anything why not go and find the real culprits,

you small minded bunch of potless tossers.

Ps has that judge got any sense of humour or wot?

I think a few cyclists' fat, sweaty arses on your face should do the trick.

[jimmy two times]

That could be painful. Most cyclists don't know their arse from their elbow.

[karter]

excuses you say, jimmy? Tell them that you have split from your partner and that you were delerious and did not know what you were doing. Surely they will sympathise.

Right turns are made illegal because they're dangerous to others or for other good reasons - if you've illegally turned right you deserve to be fined. Heavily.

Or is your OP a wind-up?

tell them you were watching your fantastic new 'dash-mounted' mini TV, so that there was no way you could have time to look at road signs!!!!

Doesn't change the fact that I've never seen one.:))

you can say a lot of excuses, you might get away or not with it. the best thing to do: just admit it, pay the fine then conscience is clean no need to think of excuses.

[ImpetuousVrouw]

Lol, ok, I'll cycle past your house later if yuo like!

Where in clapham?

[jimmy two times]

Bedford Road turning right into Acre Lane. You used to be able to do a right turn there cos I done it for years when I used to go down that way. Not anymore.

[kford]

You mean right into Clapham Park Road, here:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=bedford+road+sw4&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Bedford+Rd,+London+SW4,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&ei=LHMGTJbgMuWW4gbe0NXIDA&ved=0CB0Q8gEwAA&ll=51.459943,-0.129175&spn=0.007153,0.019162&t=h&z=16&layer=c&cbll=51.460031,-0.129184&panoid=0G-7f3ESQRbOG3tRhU-dZg&cbp=12,178.19,,0,18.51

This is new and is there not for safety reasons, but to ease congestion as the road is too narrow to allow through traffic to pass on the left (Bedford Rd is notoriously busy, partly because of ill-timed traffic light sequences at this junction). There is just one no left turn sign on the traffic light. Easy to ignore if the light is on green and you've always made that turn before, but the sign is clear, they will argue. There's no come back, I'm afraid. They would rather you turn left and then perform a tricky U-turn to get to where you're going. Bonkers, and dangerous.

Cheers...have already paid it so my kids will have to go without food for the next few days.

[karter]

the bus lane going left from clapham park rd towards brixton is a clear money spinner. It gets you every time. jimmy look out for that one budd.

[ruffers]

I'd recommend looking out for road signs at all times. ;-)

[uzzy112]

you should say the signs were not viable , or you have a problem in seeing long distsance and the signs were to small to tell
