This made me laugh


"The driver, who has not been named, claimed that the car had recently been fitted with a new speedometer, which was faulty"


Somehow I think you would know you were over the 74.5mph speed limit doing 186mph ::)

If it had been me the fine would have been so low(earnings formula) they would have given me money towards the fuel!

A few months back a Brit posted the all time speeding record on a local motorway here in Spain. Numpty didn't spot the helicpter.  ;D ;D
