Dazzled by speed camera - police report for 'attempted murder'
Published 120 p.m
The man was out driving when a speed camera reacted. The camera flash must have been so strong that the man was forced to squint and got a green spot in front of his eyes. Now he reports the incident to the police.
It was when the 75-year-old man was out on the E45 near Rätansbyn in Berg municipality last month that he was caught on a speed camera.
"I have had a driver's license for 56 years and this is so far the worst incident during my 130,000 miles along Swedish and European roads," the man writes in his report, where he also describes the photography as a "murder attempt" and a "near-death experience" .
However, the police have chosen not to initiate a preliminary investigation and the case is therefore closed.
- We are not launching a preliminary investigation into this, says a spokesperson for the Östersund police to Vi Bilägare .
According to the police, the report will not affect the man's fine.
