ny too much. paying by cheque myth

[dan1981]

Can anyone tell me if its true that you can get out of paying a speeding fine by sending a cheque for one penny more than the amount due. Thus making it illegal for the authorities to cash it.

I think its a myth, a friend claims you can

Yes it works - drive through a scamera at 30 mph above the limit with your middle finger extended through the sun roof, wait for the post and then tell us how you get on...

Took this up, when this first appeared on here many moons ago, with out local Magistrates Clerks Office to find it is an urban myth - confirmed elsewhere since.
