Van driver's six-month ban for speeding TWICE on same stretch of A45 in Northamptonshire

A van driver copped a six-month ban and hefty fines after being caught speeding TWICE on the same stretch of the A45 in Northamptonshire.

Deane Peter Martin Addis, 36, was clocked at 72mph in a Volkswagen between Wellingborough and Rushden on May 30 last year

Enforcement cameras of Northamptonshire Police Safer Roads Team snapped him again heading west between Rushden and Wellingborough on October 10, 2019.

This time the Volkswagen Caddy was registered at 78mph — nearly twice the temporary 40mph limit.

Northampton magistrates ordered Addis, of Hillcrest Avenue, Northampton, to pay a total of £1.086 in fines, costs and surcharges to fund victim services when he plead guilty at court earlier this month.
