Faheeb Hussain was banned by Cannock Magistrates' Court on Tuesday after he admitted driving a Volvo at 47mph more than the speed in April 2021.

The court was told that Hussain, of Hospital Street, Walsall, was caught by a speed camera on the southbound carriageway of the M6 between Junctions 13 and 10A in April 2021.

As well as the ban, the 40-year-old was ordered to pay a £120 fine, £90 costs and a £34 victim surcharge.

Another driver caught doing more than 100mph was Wasim Iqbal.

A speed camera caught Igbal, of Lytham Road in Fulwood, Preston, driving at 101mph on the northbound carriageway of the same motorway between Junctions 13 and 14 on October 9 last year.

The 33-year-old was fined £400, and ordered to pay costs of £90 as well as a surcharge of £160. His driving licence was also endorsed with six penalty points when his case was dealt with at Cannock Magistrates' Court on Thursday, February 9.
