A man spent £30,000 of his savings on a failed legal battle “for justice” over a £100 speeding fine.

Richard Keedwell, 71, said a “seriously flawed” legal system meant fighting the fine had taken nearly three years and used up his sons’ inheritance money. He claims he was wrongly clocked doing 35mph in a 30mph zone on a day trip to Worcester in 2016.

Mr Keedwell claimed he had “no case to answer” and recruited the help of a video and electronics expert who told the court the speed camera may have been triggered by a car in an adjacent lane or have been faulty. However, he said it took four trips to Worcester Magistrates’ Court before his appeal was heard. After losing the case, he lost a further crown court appeal in August.

Mr Keedwell said he expected the case would be “fairly quick” but had spent “the best part of £30,000″, including about £21,000 in barristers’ fees and £7,000 in court costs, as well as travel expenses.

I don’t encourage interfamily murder generally, but if your father spends your entire inheritance money fighting a 35 in a 30 mph zone speeding ticket you need to murder him. No court even see that case when presented the facts. He clearly does not care for you. He has no interest in your life. He only cares about himself and “justice.” Fuck that guy. All because of a 100 euro ticket?!? I know the inheritance money is technically his until he dies, but to know that it was put aside for the son’s future and he just wasted it like this? Yeah nope, he’s not your father anymore.

If this guy went to these lengths for a 100 euro speeding ticket, imagine being this guy’s wife and just living with him, arguing about normal everyday things? Cleaning the dishes, taking down the trash, what to eat for dinner? 30,000 as inheritance probably doesn’t come close to what you deserve for putting up with his shit.

And what happened at the end of all of this? Three years later and 30,000 euros spent? He lost. He lost the goddamn case. His response?

“I regret the amount of money. I very simply wanted justice.”

Dude just couldn’t move on. He had to see it through. And he lost. He lost everything. Similar to Captain America, except there’s no time machine this time.

Richard Keedwell. Number one asshole on the planet.
