An interesting perspective. But the point is - it may be legible but not lawfully so, as it doesn't conform to a clearly defined technical specification. I suppose electing for a court hearing instead of paying the fixed penalty might result in them opting to not prosecute, but if they do I couldn't see a "it's legible" sort of defence succeeding.
