A BMW driver was caught speeding on the A338 Spur Road three times in just 15 days.

Nicholas James Scott drove in excess of the 50mph speed limit on the dual carriageway between Cooper Dean and Blackwater junctions in December last year.

Magistrates sitting in Poole heard that he was clocked at 59mph on December 17, 58mph on December 20 and 63mph on December 31.

Scott, aged 38 and of Court Road, Bournemouth, admitted speeding on New Year's Eve 2019 but had pleaded not guilty to the other two offences when he appeared in court in June.

However, these crimes were proved in his absence during a hearing on Tuesday, November 24.

The bench endorsed the defendant's driving record with nine points, along with financial penalties of a £586 fine, £59 surcharge and £620 costs.
