A man caught driving at 124mph on the A303 has been sentenced.
Benjamin Vincent, 22, of The Corner, Shroton, Dorset, pleaded guilty to speeding and was fined £432, ordered to pay Crown Prosecution Service costs of £620 and a victim surcharge of £173.
On March 25th, 2023, officers were carrying out speed checks at Woodbine Hill on the A303 when they recorded a BMW travelling at 124mph in a 70mph area.
The vehicle was stopped, and Vincent was reported to the court.
He was also given a 42-day driving disqualification when he appeared at Salisbury Magistrates Court on Thursday (7th March).
PC Paul Davis of the Roads Policing Unit said: “This was incredibly reckless behaviour which could have caused a fatal collision on our roads. “I hope Vincent spends his disqualification period re-evaluating his behaviour and the potential consequences of such poor driving.”
