Man spends £30,000 fighting a £100 speeding fine

[editor]

Great work fella! And awesome logic here:

He was visiting Worcester with his wife to do some Christmas shopping on the fateful day in 2016 when his Nissan Qashqai was clocked at 36mph on New Road.

A couple of days later, Mr Keedwell received a notice saying he had broken the 30mph limit on the street and would have to pay £100.

Asked his reaction, Mr Keedwell said: “Incredulity. I was pretty certain I hadn’t broke the limit.

“I have only had three or four tickets in more than 50 years of driving.”

What drives a man to spend £30k fighting a £100 speeding fine

God knows where it comes from,” he laughed. “I often think of the people who stood up and were counted in Germany.

Surely he means some heroic Germans who refused to pay speeding fines here.

The former Chipping Sodbury Grammar School pupil showed the photos to a friend of a friend, Tim Farrow, who had worked with radar cameras for the RAF in the 1960s.

Mr Keedwell was startled when he spoke to Mr Farrow about the pictures.

He said: "Tim told me, 'Oh yeah, you weren’t speeding. It’s a Double Doppler.'"

The Double Doppler Effect, as explained by Mr Keedwell, is as follows: “Basically, a radar beam from a camera always splatters in all sorts of directions.

“There was a Volkswagen Golf in the middle lane of New Road while I was on the right. If some of the beam bounces off that car onto mine, it causes a distorted camera reading.”

Tim Farrow is a dumbass who doesn't understand why they have a series of white lines marked on the road and why the camera takes 2 photographs.

I'm going to use that excuse for everything now.

"Did you just fart?" No, it was Double Doppler.
Etc etc

Tbf he's obviously a really good friend. Not many people would be prepared to back up their mates' pub bullshit to the tune of thirty grand.

I have only had three or four tickets in more than 50 years of driving.

At thirty grand a pop, bloody good job an’all.

Astonishing he couldn't find sufficient expert witnesses to back him up. Also disappointing that Harold Bishop hasn't built up a better savings pot.

Tim Farrow is a dumbass who doesn't understand why they have a series of white lines marked on the road and why the camera takes 2 photographs.

To be fair, he might just be someone who wanted that tedious "friend of a friend" to finally shut the fuck up about his speeding fine
