DRIVER Peter O�Flynn was stunned to receive a speeding notice claiming a roadside camera had zapped him � at an astonishing 406MPH.
The sales manager, who was driving a Peugeot 406 at the time, said: �I rarely speed and it�s safe to say I�ll contest this.�
Officials last night admitted it was a clerical bungle, but insisted he would still be prosecuted.
Peter was driving the courtesy car while his own was being repaired. A garage worker phoned to tell him he had been nicked for speeding.
Peter added: �He said, �Are you sat down, you�ve been caught at quite a speed � 406mph�. I thought it was a wind-up.�
The Peugeot 406 Sport has a top speed of 129mph. But when he saw the letter it confirmed that he had been exceeding the 60mph limit in Runcorn, Cheshire at 406mph.
Peter said: �I don�t see how anyone can trust this camera.�
But the Cheshire Safety Camera Partnership, which issued the fine, said they would still take action despite the blunder.
A spokesman said they would be applying to magistrates for a summons.
