Does not stand up in court if you refuse to pay the fine "because you are no
longer the owner". My gf transferred her new car a few weeks ago and she had
to sign a document confirming at date and time she was no longer the
registered driver for that vehicle. This was for both parties interest just
in case the vehicle was involved in a criminal activity (i.e. driven
dangerous, driven along bus lanes, speeding or if was involved in an
accident).

I am not thinking as far as court procedures. What I hope is that
authorities will eventually give up pursuing the matter since I no
longer own the car. Any experience?

PS. Why were you in a bus lane in the first place? Did you not think about
been fined?

No, of course not! I looked out for cameras while driving along but
could not see one. It was obviously well hidden.
Why was I there? I was in a hurry and wanted to bypass traffic. But
please, let us not make this a moral thing. I am trying to get away
with not paying a ticket here and would like to know which
consequences likely.

Some are hidden (or at any rate not all that obvious) on the front of buses.

But it *is* a moral thing. You selfishly chose to make illegal use of a bus
lane because you were in a hurry, and now that you've been caught, you seek
to avoid paying the fine.

I don't know exactly how the liaison between the police or highway authority
and the DVLA works, but it's possible that DVLA would be asked for details
of who was the registered keeper of the car *on the date the offence was
committed*. If so, the fact that you subsequently sold the car would not be
relevant.

So what you're saying is "I'm one of those ******* who drives past you
in a lane I'm not meant to be in, then tries to cut in at the front of
the traffic queue, possibly shouting abuse and making rude gestures at
those who think I shouldn't have done it and so won't let me in. Now
please help me get away with doing this after having been caught.", and
you expect people to be nice? Are you mad?

Yeah, like that's not, "a moral thing." FFS, pay up, shut up, and
decide in future whether whatever "hurry" you are in is worth £50.

They won't. The fact you no longer own is it irrelevant.

If you consistently ignore the matter you will end up with a County
Court Judgement against. Expect bailiffs - and a totally shagged
credit record.
