Hearse driver fined for speeding

An Irish hearse driver has been fined for speeding - while leading a funeral cortege.

Police ordered undertaker John Carr to pay an 80 euro ($102) fine and gave him two penalty points for driving at 69 km/hr (43 miles/hour) in a 50 km/hr zone.

Several other vehicles in the cortege - on its way to a funeral in County Donegal, northwest Ireland - were also fined and their drivers threatened with prosecution if they did not pay.
