A REPEAT offender has been banned from the roads after he was caught breaking the law on a busy Herefordshire main road.
Scott Julian Harris admitted one count of speeding when he appeared before magistrates in Kidderminster in September.

The court heard from the prosecutor that the 45-year-old had been caught breaking the limit while behind the wheel of a Skoda in a 50 miles per hour zone on the A40 at Pencraig in Herefordshire on February 23.
Harris, of Mill Lane, Prescot, was fined £230 and disqualified from driving for six months for the offence, with magistrates saying a roads ban was obligatory due to repeat offending, but that they had taken his guilty plea into account when coming to their decision on the penalty.
He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £110 and a £92 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
