‘Didn’t know what 70mph was!’ Driver fined £500 for speeding after confusing mph with kph

0

A motorist was fined by police after they were spotted driving at 100mph on the A11 near Elvedon. After making the stop, police officers realised that the driver was not British and their car speedometer did display mph.

Norfolk & Suffolk Roads and Armed Policing Team took to social media to share their surprise.

Underneath a picture of a dark grey Volkswagen Passat Estate, they wrote: “#CVU carrying out checks on commercial vehicles #A11 #Elvedon when this car passes at 100mph.

“Driver was not a UK resident so a roadside deposit of £500 was taken from him.

“His speedo was in kph & he said he didn’t know what 70mph was in kph.”
