Mine Response:

How does one stray "unwittingly" into a bus lane? They are clearly marked
with big blue signs, and big white lines and big capital letters, saying
"BUS LANE". Anyone "witless" enough not to be able to spot these should
not
only not be driving a car, but should not be out without a labrador and a
white stick.

Don't be so narrow minded. Have you never had anything unexpected happen
whilst you were on the road? An errant taxi driver doing a U-Turn, someone
running into the road, something falling off the back of a lorry? Didn't
have to take avoiding action?

On a bicycle it will cost you nothing.
In a car, if you enter a bus lane,and are caught, regardless of reason, it
will cost you £80 (or whatever the fine currently is).

In this case perhaps he is in need of a stick - but not every case.
