At best, you'll get a fine and some points.
At worst, the men in white coats will come to drag you off to the funny farm.

I do, but that is because I only passed my test two weeks ago and I'm trained as, of course, it's a minor if you don't recognise an out of hours bus lane and drive in it.

I always drive in them, theres no point waiting in traffic when theres an empty lane next to you, its silly lol.

I failed my first driving test for driving in a bus lane within its opening times lol, thats probably why i drive in them, to get back at the system lol.

Wrong! I did, although not in context.

I always use bus lanes outside of their alotted hours.

i spend a fair bit of time in glasgow city in bus lanes. I've even had healights flashed at me before by idiots who cant read the big signs telling you what time the restrictions are in place usually 8am-930am and 4pm-6pm.

"Old drivers never use bus-lanes?"......I thought about that for a minute. I'm an old git, but I use them, but on the whole I reckon older drivers do avoid them.

Fact is most are paranoid about cameras/fines et al. Even when there's no need to be, the logic being...."Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!"

Or, could be they just don't notice the signs!
