The Road Traffic Act 1991 - Owner Liability
If you loan a vehicle to a friend, or one of your employees are using a work vehicle and they drive in a bus lane, the person that is liable is the OWNER, not the driver!
Doesn't make much sense does it?
How can someone that has no control of another actions be held liable for any such offence!
This needs to be changed immediately.

Owner Liability
Under The Road Traffic Act 1991, The Bus Lane Contraventions (Penalty Charges, Adjudication and Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2005, and The Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) General Regulations 2007 and The Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (General Provisions) ( Wales ) Regulations 2008 the person who is liable to pay any penalty issued in respect of a vehicle is its owner.
