A SPEEDER has been handed a two-week roads ban after he was caught breaking the limit on a busy Herefordshire main road.
Thomas Matthew Hill appeared before magistrates in Worcester in June after entering a guilty plea to one count of exceeding a 50 miles per hour speed limit.

The court heard from the prosecutor that the 41-year-old had been caught on manned camera equipment breaking the limit in a 50 miles per hour zone while behind the wheel of a Toyota on the A40 at Pencraig in Herefordshire on June 14 last year.
Hill, of Monnow Way, Bettws, Gwent, was fined £461 and disqualified from driving for 14 days for the offence, with magistrates saying they had taken his guilty plea into account when imposing the sentence.
He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £110 and a £46 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
