A woman who was caught doing nearly 60km/h over the speed limit tried to give police a very unique excuse to get out of paying a fine.
The Melbourne driver was stopped on Sydney Rd, Campbellfield, after police caught her grey Jeep Cherokee travelling at 137km in a 80km zone on Monday.
The 38-year-old woman told police her husband had recently changed the car’s speedometer from metric to imperial.

She is also expected to be charged with speed-related offences.
