The boss of a speed camera firm has been banned from driving for six months after admitting speeding at more than 100mph on a 70mph road in Suffolk. | |
Tom Riall, 49, is a chief executive of Serco, which has provided more than 5,000 speed cameras in the UK. | |
He appeared at Sudbury Magistrates' Court and pleaded guilty to driving at 102.9mph on the A14 on 4 January, 2009. | |
Riall was fined £300, banned from driving for six months and had six points added to his licence. | |
Riall, from Ufton Nervet, near Reading, was caught speeding in his blue Volvo by a police patrol car on the eastbound dual carriageway just before 1300 BST, the court heard. | |
In court Riall "expressed deep regret" and is due to give a statement later. | |
On Serco's website it states the company prides itself on providing "robust evidence" of drivers' speeding. | On Serco's website it states the company prides itself on providing "robust evidence" of drivers' speeding. |
