Aberdeen motorists could soon be fined £80 for driving in bus lanes as the city council prepares for a major crackdown. Plans have been put forward by Aberdeen City Council officers which could treble the number of drivers fined per month for being caught by roadside cameras. The authority wants to take control of the system from police to make it easier for buses to get around the city. It is estimated this will see a rise in people caught from 420 offences per month recorded by police, to 1,300. An unpublished report to be considered by various Aberdeen City Council committees over the coming weeks suggests scheme could be started on the auspicious date of April 1.
