LONDON -- A speeding motorist caught by a roadside camera tried to play a little joke when police sent a penalty notice.

The notice included a photograph of the car, the date and the speed, and demanded payment of a $65 fine. The motorist sent a photograph of a check, Superintendent Deryck Farmer said in a holiday message to a newspaper in Crewe, in northwest England.

Police sent back a photograph of a pair of handcuffs.

The motorist, who was not identified, got the message: he mailed a check.
