A Welsh cab driver says he was shocked when he was accused him of speeding at 420mph.

Tom Matthews was in his 12-year-old Vauxhall Cavalier in Newport when he was caught by a speed camera.

When the £60 fine and three penalty points arrived, the recorded speed was 420mph - in a 30mph zone.

He told the Sun: "I drive an old Cavalier - not a jumbo jet. According to this, I've broken the land speed record."

He added: "There has been a printing error. If they insist I was going that fast I should be a Grand Prix driver - I'm wasted in taxis."

Mid and South Wales Safety Camera Partnership apologised and blamed "an employee processing error".

Beep Beep!

Surely 420mph would be a ban not a fine and points

Sarge it was a printing error, he wasn't really going that fast

I take it you don't use cabs much dick

Nope
