http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007000423,00.html Cab driver's 420mph Cavalier CABBIE Tom Matthews reckons cops are pulling a fast one — after they accused him of speeding at 420MPH. Tom was in his 12-year-old Vauxhall Cavalier when he was snapped by a speed camera. But when notice of a £60 fine and three penalty points arrived, the recorded speed was 420mph — in a 30mph zone. Tom, 34, said: “I drive an old Cavalier — not a jumbo jet. According to this, I’ve broken the land speed record.” Tom was clocked as he drove a woman home in Newport, Gwent, at 2.20am. He added: “There has been a printing error. If they insist I was going that fast I should be a Grand Prix driver — I’m wasted in taxis.” Dad of one Tom will fight the penalty notice. Mid and South Wales Safety Camera Partnership apologised and blamed “an employee processing error. |

I wonder how many errors go un-noticed.

He is now entitled to have that scraped, they made the mistake and its in black and white, I hope he does fight it as any clerical mistake scraps the evidence. |
