The head of speed camera firm Serco has pleaded gulty to speeding at more than 100mph on dual carriageway in Newmarket.....well well well....

 

[bluevenetian]

he has just been banned for driving for six months and given six points

Obviously they didn't believe he was just testing the company product

 

[bluevenetian]

i wonder what the fine will be.....not that he'll be bothered and he'll probably just get a chauffer on the company

 

[Smatt]

At least he did not get some top shot lawyer to get him off the hook

A popular way of getting away with speeding is to demonstrate that the equipment used to measure the speed is faulty.

I doubt he wanted to go down that route.

Hoisted by his own petard methinks.

Hmmm... 6 points and a 6 month disqualification after a guilty plea? Presumably there were either aggravating circumstances or he was banned under totting up rules? Supposedly he's due to issue a statement this afternoon.

According to TimesOnline this is is third speeding offence in two years, so it was a ban under totting up rules. I particularly liked some of his "hardship" plea in which he asked not to be banned because:

he would be forced to hire two private chauffeurs at a personal cost of about £30,000, which might leave him unable to keep his three children in private school.

Shame

interesting...

I would have thought he had a special back door in the software that would make the camera delete it's memory if it got any pictures of his private cars?

He was caught the "old fashioned" way (well, he was in Suffolk!).

Bl@@dy fool for getting caught and for speeding, of course.
