Yes - I almost got caught once when the car in front stops sooner than you expect - luckily he moved again and I didn't have to stop. Much more conservative now. :)


No way out though - stop in the box and you're done.

  • 3 months later...

I just had a letter from TfL, cancelling a fine they had issued me for stopping in the box junction next to Peckham bus station. I had definitely stopped in the box, it goes to show it is worth putting in an appeal.


TfL?s letter says:

Due to an operator administrative error relating to the above penalty charge, the representation has been accepted and the penalty charge has been cancelled.


It also then says that on this occasion they decided to ?exercise discretion?. So it?s not necessary a black and white thing. When I filled in the ?representation? box I had simply said that if I had stopped in the box, it must have been because somebody changed lanes in front of me and blocked my exit, and anyway it was not possible to tell from the one photo whether I or not I was just moving slowly and could I please see photos from 10 secs before and after. All a bit speculative, but I don?t make a habit of deliberately clogging up box junctions so I?m glad I don?t have to pay a fine this time :)

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
