A couple received a prosecution notice that their car had been caught speeding while they were over 1,500 miles away on holiday in southern Spain.
Gary Thornburn and Clare Beards dropped off their car at the Manchester Terminal 3 meet and greet on August 3 before heading off for 13 days in Murcia. But the confused couple were met with a prosecution letter from police upon their return on August 16.
The letter, dated August 10, said their car was caught driving at 55mph in a 30 zone, along Alan Turing Way. Pictures in the letter showed a white Golf GTI with the same number plate committing the offence.
