Driver caught doing 157mph on A46 in Lincolnshire - BBC News
Jason Barnard was speeding in his BMW 5 Series on the A46 in Lincolnshire when officers spotted him and checked his speed using a hand held device. The 43-year-old, of Tudor Walk in Watford, admitted dangerous driving and was banned from driving for 15 months. The fastest two drivers caught by speed cameras in England and Wales last year were both travelling at 146mph, according to figures compiled by the Institute of Advanced Motorists. In 2013, a driver was caught on a speed camera travelling at 149mph. He was caught speeding in the Swinderby area, where the A46 has a 70mph speed limit, at 21:57 BST on the evening of 28 April. Ch Insp Vickers said even police officers who are trained to drive at high speed would not have driven at 157mph on this road. Source: www.bbc.co.uk
