A Range Rover driver who was caught speeding at 45mph in a 30mph zone has been ordered to pay more than £1,000.
Justin Sanders, aged 49, of Westfield Road in Beaconsfield, was caught blitzing the 30mph speed limit in a 2021 Range Rover on Oxford Road in New Denham on February 10.
The driver, who was travelling at 15mph over the limit, was caught on a speed camera in the 4x4.

At Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on December 2, Sanders was found guilty of speeding and was ordered to pay a hefty £833 fine.
In addition, he also had to pay £173 in costs to the court.
This was not Sanders’s first motoring infraction – his licence was endorsed with five penalty points, leaving him with at least 12 points on his record.

Normally, drivers who accrue 12 or more penalty points within three years are handed a ‘totting’ disqualification. However, the court did not opt to ban the offender from driving in this case.
The reason given was the “effect on your business and your employees would [lose] their jobs.”
