This sign advises drivers of heavy goods vehicles not to use – wait for it – “Pikers (sic) Lane”.
That’s right, the sign with an extra apostrophe is six feet above the road sign that’s missing one.
It’s in Corley, just outside Coventry, UK.

This can be correct in that it distigushes the plural from the acronym, i.e many HGV’s rather than one HGVS
The s is already lowercase, which is plenty to differentiate that it’s a plural.
HGV’s what, one wonders….
This is not incorrect. It’s said when there are unlimited funny examples of unambiguously borked usage that you sully your blog with nit picking.
Yes it is. You should use “HGVs” (wihtout an apostrophe) as the plural of “HGV” (whatever that is.)
I guess (the) HGV(s) got greedy and stole the apostraphe from “Pikers (sic) Lane”.
