    A couple of weeks ago in England: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/462695 2.stm

    A farmer from Wiltshire got a penalty notice accusing him of doing 85mph on his tractor in south Wales.

    His tractor, however, has a top speed of 26mph and has never been to Wales. Simple case of mistaken identity: automatic numberplate reader gets the plate wrong.

    "It's a good tractor, but not that good."
