she realised instantly what had happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her van did indeed go through the zone at York Road at the Bath Road Bridge junction on September 25 &#8211; on the back of a breakdown recovery vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Eve appealed to the city council and it is understood the penalty charge notice has since been cancelled.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/14\/16\/77790387-12748325-image-m-3_1699980428752.jpg\" height=\"574\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Eve Scragg&#8217;s vehicle did indeed go through the Clean Air Zone &#8211;

Design, said what worried her the most was that she could have been away and missed the fine and ended up being fined more.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Apparently this is quite common &#8211; if your vehicle is being transported on the back of an AA truck like mine is here, the council system can&#8217;t tell any different, and they evidently don&#8217;t have any human sense checks in place before they send PCNs out,&#8217; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The result is anyone having their vehicle transported by a recovery truck is likely to get issued with a fine and threats if they don&#8217;t pay up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I have now appealed the fine, but have been away so nearly didn&#8217;t spot the letter in time to do so, there&#8217;s a limited period in which you&#8217;re allowed to appeal.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/14\/16\/77790383-12748325-image-a-2_1699980406783.jpg\" height=\"845\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>A businesswoman says she was fined by her council after her broken down van entered a Clean Air Zone on the back of a pick-up truck<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;d guess a lot of others have found themselves in a similar situation or landed with fines through no fault of their own too,&#8217;
