107mph Speeding On M74 Dumfries Kept Licence

Kept Licence
Dumfries Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court

Police officers in this case were engaged in a static speed check when they observed our client’s BMW travelling at excessive speed. The Unipar SL700 speed measuring device confirmed these suspicions and registered a speed of 107mph. The Police followed our client for around a further four miles during which time his speed remained consistently above 104mph.

Six penalty points were imposed on our client’s driving licence
