An angry woman driver is seeking compensation after police said she looked like a man.
Short-haired Pauline Synnott, 59, was caught speeding and admitted it in a letter to police, reports The Sun.
She expected a £60 fine and three penalty points for doing 52mph in a 40mph zone. But officers who looked at the speed camera photo were convinced the driver was a man.
They wrote to Pauline's partner Roy Watkins, 65, who owns the car, to confirm who was driving.
A letter to him read: "From the copy of the photograph it appears that the driver was a male."
Roy, who has been with supermarket worker Pauline, of Gillingham, Kent, for 12 years, said: "It was definitely her driving.
"I am fuming and Pauline is very upset - any woman would be if they were told they look like a man. I want compensation for the misery and hurt this has caused."
Kent Police said: "We are working with the couple to resolve this matter."
