Speeding ticket actually quite slow
14 Jul 2007
A motorist was sent a speeding ticket for a car he has never owned... nine years after the alleged offence.
Derrick Thomas was told he had driven a Mercedes at 60mph in a 40mph zone in Essex. The letter was postmarked December 1998, a month after the offence.
Essex Police said the matter would not be pursued.
Royal Mail claimed it was unlikely that it was responsible for the letter's late arrival.
Mr Thomas, 71, of Ipswich, said: 'I thought it was a joke. I've only ever driven BMWs since 1989.'
