Ananova:

AN 82-year-old woman has been given a £80 fine for walking too slowly.

Mayvis Coyle was shuffling across a busy LA road with her cane, but could not make it to the other side before the light turned red.

A motorcycle policeman approached her and issued her with a fine.

According to news.com.au she said: "I think it's completely outrageous. He treated me like a six-year-old."

A spokesman for Los Angeles police said the force were forced to crack down on people who improperly cross streets in an attempt to prevent accidents.
