Driver who charged through 30mph zone at motorway speed slapped with big bill
A driver who tore through a 30mph speed restriction at motorway speeds has been ordered to pay out more than £700.
Harrison Coope was caught driving a white Mercedes AMG along the A34 Stone Road in Stafford between the junctions for Whitgreave Lane and Yarlett Hall Farm.
The speed limit along the dual carriageway is normally 60mph, however roadworks had halved that 30mph on October 21 last year.
A police officer with a laser measuring device clocked the 21-year-old driving at 70mph instead of the temporary 30mph.
After admitting exceeding a temporary 30mph speed limit, Coope, of Hertford Place, Stafford, had his driving licence endorsed with six points.
He was also fined £484 and ordered to pay £90 costs and a £194 surcharge, leaving him with a total bill of £768.
