Bus lane contravention detected by mobile camera.
Northern Ireland uses code 34M for this contravention.
The code appears on a Penalty Charge Notice so that the particular parking or bus-lane contravention being alleged can be identified.
The standard Northern Ireland PCN charge is £90.
A 50% discount reduces this to £45 when payment is made within the first 14 days.
If the case progresses to a Charge Certificate, the amount increases to £135.
Check that the registration, location, date, time and contravention code shown on the notice match the circumstances.
If you believe the PCN was issued incorrectly, Northern Ireland has an official challenge and representation process.
Code 34M is used where a mobile CCTV camera detects a vehicle driving in a bus lane during operational hours. Drivers should check the signs because permitted vehicle classes and operating times are set for each bus lane.
