A Dudley taxi driver has been jailed for trying to dodge a speeding fine, after being caught on camera on 26 June last year.

Majid Hussain was snapped driving at 56mph in a 40mph limit on the A41 Black Country New Road in Sandwell.

However when Mr Hussain was sent a notice of intended prosecution by the central ticket office, he nominated a fictitious person as being the driver at the time.

He was subsequently interviewed and when he was shown the photographs taken by the recording cameras, 28-year-old Hussain admitted to making up fake details.

Majid Hussain of Ivanhoe Street in Dudley pleaded guilty on 30th April at Birmingham Crown Court and was sentenced to 10 weeks in prison.
