Howard is a technology buff. One day, as he is driving down Bishops Avenue in Hampstead, he passes a sign saying that he is approaching the most advanced speed camera in the world. So he slows down to the 30mph speed limit. But when he passes the camera, it flashes at him.
"Not much of an advanced camera," he thinks. "I wonder what incorrect speed it has been set at?" So he turns around, drives back 300 yards, turns around and approaches the camera again, this time at 20mph. Again it flashes at him and he laughs out loud. Once again he turns around, drives back 300 yards, turns around again and approaches the camera again, this time at just 10mph. Once again, the camera flashes at him. He gives up on the faulty camera and drives home.
One week later, three letters drop through his letterbox. Each one is a Traffic Fine for £100 for driving without a seat belt!
