A REPEAT offender van man has been banned from the roads after he was caught breaking the law on the busy M5 motorway.

Jordan Mark Crowther, of Ridgemoor Road, Leominster, entered a guilty plea to one count of exceeding a 70 miles per hour motorway speed limit when he appeared before magistrates in January.

The court heard from the prosecutor that the 31-year-old had been caught breaking the limit while behind the wheel of a Renault Master van in a 70 miles per hour speed limit on the M5 at junction 27 at Tiverton in Devon on February 14 last year.
