Norfolk BMW driver banned for doing over 100mph on A47

Daniel Hubbard, 23, was given a disqualification from being behind the wheel after police caught him doing 120mph on the A47 and driving at more than double the 50mph limit on the A1067 near Dereham. 

The BMW driver, from Chapel Lane in Potter Heigham, appeared before Norwich Magistrates Court to face two charges due to his excessively high speeds. 

Those found to be doing over 101mph face a court summons and can be disqualified from driving for between seven and 56 days or receive six points.

Magistrates heard he was recorded on August 20 last year doing 110mph on part of the A1067 that has a 50mph speed limit.

Police also clocked him doing 120mph on a dual carriageway section of the A47 at North Burlingham on September 11.  

Both charges were proved with magistrates disqualifying him for 14 days, giving him six points and imposing fines and costs totalling £1,449.
