A farmer in Wales has been sent a speeding ticket for driving his tractor at an alleged 85mph.
Steve Crossman received the ticket after a speed camera on the A465 near Neath allegedly trapped him at the illegal speed. This was despite the fact that the tractor can only do 26mph and has never been driven in Wales.
The Mid and South Wales Safety Camera Partnership claims that it misread a number plate resulting in the error.
Amusing enough, but how many errors are being made that motorists are struggling to challenge? With no evidence provided to motorists accused of speeding, it's currently a case of guilty until proved innocent.
Paul Smith of the Safe Speed road safety campaign said: "These errors are far too frequent. It is essential that camera partnerships receive immediate instructions to provide full photographic evidence with each and every ticket so that motorists can check for themselves."
