30/03/2009 SPEEDING
A pensioner was caught speeding in a car so old it hasn't even got a speedometer.
Stunned 67-year-old Dave Stanisfield, who is 19 years younger than his Model T Ford, was snapped doing 35mph in a 30mph zone.
He reckoned it couldn't go that fast so went to court in a bid to avoid the £60 fine - but ended up paying more.
He said: "When it was new it could do 46mph but it's nearly 90 years old now.
"I couldn't believe it when I got the letter. I was shocked.
"I'm no boy racer or Lewis Hamilton. I have great respect for the law and road safety."
Mr Stanisfield, a mechanic from Coventry, was caught on the way back from a vintage car rally in Worcestershire.
He said: "I couldn't prove I wasn't doing that speed.
Going to court was the wrong thing. I still got three points and £138 in fines and costs.
"But it's a lovely car. My mate's daughter delayed her wedding twice so it would be ready for the ceremony." Wrong age group to be Lewis Hamilton!!. Len.
