Driver avoids six-month ban over ‘inadequate’ sign

A driver in a town in the UK has successfully appealed against a six-month driving ban after arguing that the road sign indicating a restriction was inadequate.

The driver, who was caught on camera driving in a bus lane during restricted hours, took his case to court where it was ruled that the sign warning motorists of the restriction was not clearly visible due to overgrown foliage.

The judge agreed that the sign was indeed inadequate and overturned the ban, much to the relief of the driver.

This case serves as a reminder of the importance of clear and visible road signage to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
