A rollerblader hurtling down a public street at night has managed to set off a speed camera.
Sam Tuffnell, 28, believes he reached a speed of 40mph on his fourth attempt to make the camera flash on the road in Hastings, East Sussex.
"I may have been going a bit faster than that," said Sam from Brighton. "I have been towed by a car at 65mph and it didn't feel far off that. I was trying to go faster."
Sam wore a fluorescent jacket to make sure the camera caught him after two attempts dressed entirely in black with no lights failed.
The authorities won't be able to fine Sam despite the fact that he broke the speed limit because the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 says non-motorised vehicles can not be prosecuted for speeding.
