A man in the UK was taken aback when he received a ticket for driving in a bus lane in the city of Bath, about 120 miles from his home.
When David Knight examined the photographic evidence of his alleged violation, he saw a woman walking down the dedicated bus lane, with the word “Knitter” on her shirt, which the computer had mistaken for the man’s license plate, KN19TER, according Daily Mail.
The ‘infraction’ took place in June, but Knight did not receive the penalty notice until last month.
Knight’s wife told the same newspaper that she contacted the City Council to alert officials of her mistake and they agreed to cancel the fine of 90 pounds ($ 123).
“The fine had already gone up from 60 to 90 pounds because we had not paid in 30 days,” he added. “Obviously no one had looked at the photo, which had been computer generated.”
Knight indicated that they have laughed a lot about what happened: “There is no way I was going to pay for a woman walking down the bus lane with a funny T-shirt.”
