Dear Mr Claus, I am writing to you in accordance with the Department for Transport's (DfT) funding allocation requirement to prove that we have been 'good'. Let me start by observing that the instance of your being fined for contravention of a yellow box junction last December has now been reviewed by our team. We understand that at approximately 2m length per reindeer and 3m for your sleigh you are operating a vehicle some 9m long and as such it is difficult sometimes to avoid being caught in this way. This of itself is no excuse, particularly for a vehicle which is capable of flight. However, following publication of the Plan for Drivers we accept that the markings of the box junction could have been clearer and will be repainted before any further fixed penalties are issued. We are therefore willing to drop our case against you. In a similarvein, we have looked again at the instance of your entering a designated bus lane and your suggestion that we add reindeer-hauled-sleighs to the list of vehicles authorised to use these lanes in future. |
