A man who has been dead eight years was last Friday issued with a speeding fine in South Africa.<\/p>\n
According to the fine which arrived in the post, the man, who died in January 2006, was trapped travelling at 94km\/h in an 80km\/h zone on May 21, 2014 at 2.30pm. He is required to pay R100 admission of guilt.<\/p>\n
Not only is it impossible for the man in question to have been driving, but the fine also incorrectly stated the vehicle was a Toyota Hilux with the registration NPS 39685 instead of a sedan with the registration NPS 29685 as caught on camera.<\/p>\n
The fine also stated that the man was caught speeding on the \u2018R61 near Bocks Farm Stall\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am aware of Buck\u2019s Farm Stall in Trafalgar but have never heard of Bocks Farm Stall,\u201d said a family friend. \u201cAnd why is this man\u2019s name still on record? It\u2019s an absolute joke. It\u2019s a money making scheme and just highlights the incompetence of the people issuing the fines.\u201d<\/p>\n
She urged people to double check the information on any fines they may receive before rushing off to pay them.<\/p>\n
