A MAN has been fined more than £400 and banned from driving after being clocked at 124mph on the A303 in Wiltshire.
Benjamin Vincent, of The Corner, Shroton, in Dorset, pleaded guilty to speeding and was fined £432, ordered to pay Crown Prosecution Service costs of £620 and a victim surcharge of £173 when he appeared before magistrates in Salisbury on March 7.
On March 25, 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 22-year-old Vincent was reported to court.

As well as being fined, Vincent was handed a 42-day driving disqualification.
PC Paul Davis, of the Wiltshire Police 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.”
