FALMER, England, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- A British man who said he was driving 103 mph in a 60 mph zone due to his dyslexia was banned from driving for three years by a judge.
Matthew Cook, 40, clocked at the high rate of speed on A27 between Falmer and Hollingbury in East Sussex, England, told police he was speeding because he had trouble reading the speedometer, The Daily Telegraph reported Monday.
"He told the police officer that he did not understand the speed dial because he was suffering from dyslexia," prosecutor John Marsden Lynch told Hove Crown Court Recorder Christopher Morris-Coole.
Cook pleaded guilty to a count of dangerous driving. UPI
