Driving a powerful and fast car in most cases can put us in a situation where we exceed the speed limit. But driving a regular car and collecting almost 60 fines in less than two months is a real skill. Such a situation occurred in Great Britain where a driver received 57 speeding tickets in 54 days.
Welsh driver John Kelly driving a VW Beetle became the record holder by collecting the most traffic tickets in the shortest time. He did the “achievement” from February 19 to April 14 at four locations, racking up £46,880 in fines. In all locations the speed limit was 50 km/h and Kelly drove between 70 km/h and 110 km/h.
The last speeding was recorded by a police patrol who stopped the driver and after determining that he did not have insurance and that he had not paid previous fines, confiscated his VW Beetle. After confiscating the vehicle, Kelly was sent to court where, in addition to the fine, the judge gave him 48 penalty points and revoked his driver’s license for 36 months.
A truly unusual “achievement” considering the short period of time and the number of penalties. This means that he collected at least one penalty every day.
