She Thinks My Tractor's Speedy
Welsh authorities tried to fine Steve Crossman for speeding… on his tractor. Crossman got a ticket generated by a speed camera claiming he'd been photographed doing 85 miles per hour. After he told them his tractor had a top speed of 26 miles per hour, and it would take him more than four hours to drive it from his farm to where he was allegedly speeding, camera operators admitted they had misread the license plate on the photograph and retracted the ticket.
