Can Leeds City Council really have mistaken my moped for a truck?
I recently received a penalty notice for driving my 49cc moped, disguised as a Mitsubishi Cantor truck, in a bus lane, from Leeds City Council. I don't really have to say any more. Suffice to say I have appealed against it, as it appears that a 'Y' in the registration has been mistaken for a 'T'.

That's hilarious. If you have the time, let the matter go to court, and bring your moped to the court. It proves the point I continuously make that ANPR evidence alone cannot always be relied upon. And makes reliance on that evidence appear utterly ridiculous.
