Man tried to pin speeding fine on his own dead father

A NOTTINGHAM man tried to get off a speeding fine by claiming it was his dead father who was driving and not him.

- 

Nottingham Crown Court heard how Christopher Dixon sent a letter back to the enforcement team naming his deceased dad after they wrote to him saying they intended to prosecute.

But when an investigation was launched and he was later shown the speed camera's photograph, the 36-year-old, of Stapleford, admitted it was him but that he “could not remember the incident”.
