Speed on

News article from Issue # 65 (January 1988) of the Harrison Alliance



George went to court in Brentford, England July 30, 1988 to contest the ticket he received last January 28 for driving between 90 and 100 MPH on the M4 near Heston in England.  George told the judge that his maximum speed was 84MPH.  The constable that issued the ticket said George was clocked for three quarters of a mile and that during that time George was driving a minimum of 90, a maximum of 100 MPH.  the judge ruled that since the actual speed was in doubt, George should receive the benefit of the doubt and the court would accept the speed to which George pleased guilty.  The judge then fined George £50 and points against his drivers license.
