Have you been illegally fined by your council for a motoring offence?

Eddie Mair | 13:04 UK time, Friday, 16 May 2008

Some councils are doing just that.

If YOU have some experience of how councils behave...or maybe you work on the other side and can share something from a council's point of view...leave a comment by clicking here.

Here's what can happen. Perhaps their box junction was illegal...or the bus lane wrongly marked. Thousands of motorists can be caught on camera and fined automatically.

But when one driver points out the mistake - while he or she gets their fine refunded, the council is not obliged to contact everyone else who's been wrongly fined.

This was brought to our attention by a listener to our sister programme, iPM.

In tomorrow night's programme we'll hear from all sides. But we thought you might like to hear from one of our guests, Lord Lucas who chairs the London Motorist Action Group. He says the current set up is intolerable. Just click on START.
