A tale of two Coulthards

Police didn't see the funny side when a man they stopped for speeding gave his name as David Coulthard.

In fact the motorist was telling the truth - and he has the same occupation as his more illustrious namesake.

Coulthard mark two, who races in the MG Car Club Speed Championship, was on his way to Glasgow when he was clocked doing 40 in a 30mph zone.

"The police officer asked who I was and so I told him," said the Bradford man.

"It didn't help me. He was a typical policeman with no sense of humour. He didn't bat an eyelid and just wrote out the ticket."

At least he didn't give the classic "And I'm the Queen of Sheba" reply.
