Two elderly pensioners from Spain faced six fines totaling €1,200 due to a misidentified license plate linked to their vehicle. They claimed they never drove to Barcelona, and the fines were for unauthorized access to low-emission zones. After contesting the initial fines, they received three more for the same alleged violations. The confusion arose from a partially obscured number plate that resembled their Audi A4 but was actually linked to a different vehicle type. The fines were eventually annulled after proving their car had never left their home province.
