Speeding? Fine.

Queensland Police have withdrawn a speeding fine handed to a Sunshine Coast man that penalised him for driving at 100km/h through a 100km/h zone.
Zac Murray posted a picture of the fine to Facebook, where it quickly went viral.
He said police corrected the error around lunchtime on Tuesday.
"The cops called, they were real cool about it, just said 'Yep, sorry about that, the fine's been withdrawn,'" he said.
"And I was like, yeah OK, we all make mistakes, and that was it."
Mr Murray said his social media fame had been followed by a flood of media interviews.
"It's been pretty funny, I'm still just amused a lot by it," he said.
"My work mates think it's ludicrous...I was in here doing an interview with the ABC and they were trying to yell over the top of me."
The laconic 24-year-old joked about what he'd do with his newfound notoriety.
"I'm going to ride it all the way to the top and end up in bed next to Miley Cyrus."
