Blue Directional Signs

[EvianBaby]

Is it an offence to drive in a different direction to where a blue sign points?

Well you'd probably find yourself in a police car if you went the wrong way down the motorway, wouldn't you?

What did you do?

[boxtops]

Only if you don't want to go where the sign points....

[pink-kittens]

you might even find yourself down a large hole ..........

It wasn't me. One of the employees. Although the picture provided doesn't actually show him turning in any direction, just sittin in traffic. Westminster council have had enough money off us over the years, I don't want to give them any more.

what was the sign?

[EvianBaby]

A round blue sign with a white arrown pointing to the left. He was in the left hand lane. He probably did turn right (can't speak to him yet) but the picture doesn't show that happening.

mmm well, if they've sent you a pic of a stationary car how does that show an offence?

Arrow pointing down or to the left?

Have to say, if it were me and one of my employees, then that employee would have their name sent on as the driver and they would also be paying any fine and getting any other 'punishment' deemed appropriate

[EvianBaby]

Well that's the thing, it doesn't show an offence. It shows the car sitting in a small queue of traffic with brake lights on. The arrow on the sign indicates a left turn.

I should correct myself. When I say employee, I actually mean Director.

well, hope you win your appeal
Seems silly that they give you a pic of a non offence lol

i sort of failed a driving test on it....i came to the end of a road and wasnt sure which way to turn because he hadnt told me as they usually do so, i asked him ...silly because the blue arrow sign was in front, although i hadnt even noticed it...probably because of the torrential downpour at the time, but still...
