When his wife Paula, 54, looked at the traffic camera snap of the alleged offence she couldn't believe her eyes.

A woman strolling along the bus lane is seen wearing a T-shirt branded with the word KNITTER in black, bold font.

The computer mistook it to be David's KN19 TER personalised number plate, which he chose as a reference to his nickname Knighter.
