Motorist ripped off

[BMK]

Hi guys.

If you get a moment Google

Trip Advisor Holiday Inn Express Taunton UK

After spending and speeding for seven weeks overseas I was pretty pleased with myself in avoiding every cop, speed camera and parking fine.. aaah the wide open M5 and winding lanes..

Mmmmm -

That was until I received 5 Traffic Violations in two days from Somerset Council UK.

Guess what - I had been caught driving in a Bus Lane.

Anne and I decided at the last minute to stay in Taunton UK and booked a room at the Holiday Inn Express Taunton UK. It was central to where we wanted to base our self.

It is right on a clover leaf type double roundabout and very difficult to get into the motel. We used our GPS and managed OK. But as we left the GPS directed us down the side street next to the motel and into Taunton township.

There are signs on the street only visible from the roundabout. Mmm you know the rest 5 fines in less than 48 hours.

I was p!ssed off and put my comments on Trip Advisor for the Holiday Inn Express Taunton only to find four others were also booked in the preceding few weeks.

A cash grab by Somerset Council....

I was really upset to read the Trip Advisor entry from the family in obvious convoy heading to a funeral and the poor woman who received multiple fines and was worried how she was going to pay.

As motorists we need to let this Somerset Council know they are ripping off unsuspecting people - blatant cash grab.

I went on the Somerset Council 'Contact Us' site and voiced my thoughts.

My Bookkeeper was so annoyed she copied every Councillor into my response.

Mmmmm maybe we can collectively complain and save these families attending a funeral and cash short..

I have also Posted a Thread on the England Cobra site encouraging motorist to voice their dissatisfaction with the rip off.
