A grandmother who is learning to ride a motorbike has received more than dozen speeding tickets from a city she has never visited.
Officials say Karen Goode has been caught on camera 14 times in the past five months.
They claim she has been zipping around at almost twice the limit.
But the speed trap is a 330 mile round trip from her home.
And the mum of two has only travelled a total of 400 miles in all that time.
Rookie rider Karen, 59, from near Northampton, who has received a flurry of tickets from police in Swansea, South Wales, fears her registration plate has been cloned.
The hairdresser passed a basic training test last December and is still nervous when she climbs on her Honda 125cc bike.
Her husband Martyn, 60, an experienced motorcyclist, follows behind to ensure she is safe.
“I never go out on my own, I’m still a little bit dodgy on it,” she said.
“I’ve only been tottering around the village.”
Karen, who has four grandchildren, is not allowed to ride on motorways.
And according to the AA’s Route Planner website, the journey to Swansea would take almost four hours on minor roads.
“I definitely would not ride to Wales,” she laughed.
Karen said: “My husband has had bikes for 40 years and I’ve been on the back with him loads of times.
“He said ‘why don’t you have a go at learning yourself’ and I thought I would try it.”
After getting her “little Honda” last November, she took her Compulsory Basic Training test, which allows her to ride bikes up to 125cc.
But the UK went into lockdown in January and she rarely went out.
So Karen, from Blisworth, was stunned in April when she received a letter saying she had been travelling at 50mph in a 30mph zone in Swansea.
Since then a total of 14 different speeding tickets from South Wales Police have dropped through her letterbox and earlier this month she was warned she faces court action.
All but one of the offences were captured on the same camera.
She said: “When you get one in the post, you think it’s a mistake but getting this many, it’s just a joke”.
Karen, who has her own hairdressing salon, added: “Nothing seems to be getting done about it. It has been very stressful, not only for me but my family, I just do not know what to do and the issue is not being resolved.
“I am being told conflicting things, the organisation issuing the tickets is telling me not to worry about it but South Wales Police are the ones issuing me with a warning, urging me to name the person responsible.”
And she wants the real speedster caught before someone is injured.
She added: “They could potentially hurt someone or kill a child and it comes back to me. It makes me physically sick.”
South Wales Police said the matter was an issue for GoSafe, the organisation which operates the speed camera.
A spokesman for GoSafe said: “We cannot comment on individual ongoing cases.
“However, we can confirm that when a claim is made of cloned plates we have a team of dedicated officers who will deal with investigating these claims.
“In a case where a plate has been cloned, whilst everything is being done to deal with this offence, Notices of Intended Prosecution (NIPs) may still continue to be sent to the registered keeper until the offending vehicle has been seized by Police, or the investigation is concluded.”
