Tilley's ticket has been posted on the web, as has the previous speeding record by Faenza
Tilley goes to court later this month and will no doubt be hoping he doesn't spend any time in the slammer, which would be very likely in most countries.
As an aside, Tilley may hold the new record for the fastest speeding ticket, but his $105 fine pales in comparison to the world's most expensive speeding ticket which was issued in Finland earlier this year.
In Finland, traffic penalties are linked to the offender's income, and Finnish millionaire Jussi Salonoja was fined US$216,900 for speeding in a 25 mph zone. It topped the previous record, again from Finland, of US$190,000 given to one of the country's wealthiest people.
