| Video Discription | Man spends £30,000 of children's inheritance fighting £100 speeding fine Richard Keedwell was driving his Nissan Qashqai in Worcester when something happened that would end up costing him nearly £30,000A man took on the courts over a £100 speeding fine and lost almost £30,000 of his sons' inheritance. Richard Keedwell embarked on a long and incredibly expensive legal journey back in 2016 when he drove his Nissan Qashqai to the shops in Worcester to pick up some Christmas gifts. A speed camera clocked the vehicle as going 36 mph. A couple of days later the 71-year-old received a fine for £100, which sparked a strong reaction in Mr Keedwell, Bristol Post reported. He said: “Incredulity. I was pretty certain I hadn’t broke the limit.I have only had three or four tickets in more than 50 years of driving.” After asking and getting photographic evidence from West Mercia Police, he showed the photos to a friend of a friend, Tim Farrow. The former RAF man had worked with radar cameras back in the 1960s and explained a Double Doppler has occurred - when a radar beam bounces off one object onto another. “There was a Volkswagen Golf in the middle lane of New Road while I was on the right," Mr Keedwell said. "If some of the beam bounces off that car onto mine, it causes a distorted camera reading.”Armed with a sense of injustice and the willingness to spend "a few grand", the irate motorist took the government on. Mr Keedwell appeared before Worcester Magistrates' Court four times and took the case to Worcester Crown Court on appeal last month. Unfortunately for the pensioner the judge ruled in favour of the Crown Prosecution Service. In making sure his case got a fair hearing Mr Keedwell forked out £21,000 on barrister's fees and £7,000 in court costs, on top of travel costs. Mr Farrow, who was his key witness, failed to convince the judge with the Double Doppler defence.The district judge who presided over the magistrates’ court trial offended Mr Keedwell with the comment: “Why is my time being wasted with this?” Mr Keedwell said: “I was quietly appalled. What chance have ordinary people like me got with a legal system like that? “I was thinking already, ‘I wonder how much it will cost to go to Crown Court.’” Despite losing thousands of pounds that, Mr Keedwell said, would have been inherited by his 37 and 42-year-old children, the figure that particularly irked him was the £35 victim surcharge. He said: “That was a joke. Who was the victim?” “They (his children) still live at home because they cannot afford their own houses,” he added. The eldest is like, ‘Why do you bloody bother?’ My wife has a degree of frustration. “But on the other hand, she knows it’s my money. She’s aware there is more to this than a simple speeding case. “The money would probably have gone to our sons, or some of it maybe to the donkey’s home because my wife loves animals – unfortunately it's now in the pockets of the law.” Fortunately for his sons, they will still inherit the family home and Mr Keedwell is "still comfortable". When asked where he got his spirit from, he said: "God knows where it comes from.I just felt I had to do it. Once you are so far into it, you have to keep going. “I will keep going in some form or other, but it won’t be thousands of pounds. A judicial review is the next option. “I can’t spend another £28,000 though. I can’t even afford to spend £10,000.” |
