A scientist escaped a charge of speeding at 42mph, after claiming a device he invented showed him travelling 12mph slower.
Sunderland University lecturer Phillip Tann, 45, was told mobile speed officers recorded him speeding in a 30mph zone in the city last November.

But Dr Tann, from South Shields, had data from a satellite tracking device, showing him travelling at 29.18mph.

The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed proceedings against Dr Tann had ceased.

Trouble is, once it is proven to work, we'll all have to carry one and produce it as evidence to incriminate ourselves!

Ride like stink while you can and until the oil runs out!
