I got a £30.00 fpn today for driving into Hyde park. Did not see the notice on the gates, followed the sat nav , wont do it again. The officer told me that i could be procecuted upto £2000 for this offence because i was in a van.

If you are not a regular driver in London it can be a real trap for the average motorist. The stress and pressure of the place causes you to miss stuff like those blessed notices on the gates etc.

you got overcharged. its 30 quid.

and maybe less attention to the satnav, more to the signs at all the gates? just a thought.
