A POOLE man caught driving a Mercedes at 80mph in a 40mph zone in Bournemouth has been handed a driving ban.
John James Ryan Ward was speeding on the A348 Ringwood Road at Bear Cross on June 19 last year.
Ward, 20, appeared at Poole Magistrates' Court for sentencing having previously admitted the offence.
The bench issued the defendant with a £300 fine and an order to pay a £60 surcharge and £85 costs.
He was disqualified from holding or or obtaining a driving licence for 75 days.
Ward, whose address was given as Benbow Crescent, Poole, was also convicted of two offences committed on June 26, 2019.
These concerned him not wearing a seat belt while driving a Vauxhall car in Poole Road, Poole, and failing to produce evidence of insurance when asked by a police officer.
Magistrates issued a further £300 fine, £85 costs and £65 surcharge.
