Pensioner fined for speeding by cops - even though he was in Spain at the time

"It came across very threatening. The letter even said they had video evidence and pictures which was impossible as I wasn't there.

"My concern is this, this is obviously a mistake and there's no provision for me in this particular case to say it wasn't me.Jonathan Clarkson, spokesman for the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Road Safety Partnership, which oversees speed cameras in the county, said the fine was down to an "administrative error".

He said: “We have checked our records and in this instance we have discovered an administrative error on our part, Mr Wiseman has contacted us directly and we will be replying to him and offering our apologies for any distress caused while assuring him that no further action will be taken. “As our local traffic volumes return to pre-pandemic levels the Road Safety Unit at Leicestershire Police is currently dealing with very high volumes of speeding and red traffic light offences, however, we are committed to keeping the roads of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland safe for everyone.
