Speeding fine riddle

A researcher has been slapped with a speeding ticket in Somerset - despite living 800 miles away in Germany.

Baffled Christopher Reynolds, 30, faces a £60 fine and penalty points unless he can prove he was not at the wheel.

He was notified by letter he had broken the 30mph limit on the A370 in Somerset on May 31, reports the Daily Mirror.

Christopher insists he was at work in Munich at the time and has neither driven for years, nor ever owned the car involved in the alleged offence.

He said: "There must be another Christopher Reynolds. It means their system is flawed."

The DVLA, which holds drivers' details, said: "If a driver says he was out of the country he has to prove he was not driving."
