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.

Does he want to sell the car?

I wonder how many errors go un-noticed.
