Driver caught speeding on same road five times in 11 days loses his licence
A motorist who was caught speeding five times on the same road in the space of 11 days has been banned from driving.
A speed camera flashed at a Suzuki being driven by Vikram Kumar twice on June 7, twice on June 15, and again on June 18.
The 27-year-old from Holly Street, Smethwick, was driving in a 30mph limit on the A44 New Road, Worcester, each time he was clocked.
On June 7 he was caught driving at 35mph on two occasions, before driving at 40mph and 36mph eight days later. He was then clocked travelling at 35mph again on June 18.
Kumar admitted all five speeding offences when his case was dealt with as a single justice procedure - where evidence is submitted by writing - at Kidderminster Magistrates Court in September, before attending the court for a disqualification hearing on Monday.
He received five £146 fines, along with three points on his licence for each offence. Because he reached 12 points after four of those speeding offences, he then received a six-month driving ban and had his record endorsed with a further three points.
A £292 victim surcharge and £90 costs left Kumar having to pay £1,112 to the court in total.
