A LUDLOW speeder has been hit with a fine after he was caught out driving at 100 miles per hour on a busy motorway.

Mark Burton of Fishmore View in Ludlow entered a guilty plea to one count of speeding in a 70 miles per hour zone to magistrates in April.

The court heard the 69-year-old had been caught breaking the limit on the M6 Toll northbound at Norton Canes in Cannock on August 15 last year.

He was clocked hitting speeds of 100 miles per hour in the 70 zone, North Staffordshire magistrates heard.

Burton was fined £160 and received six penalty points for the offence.

He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £130 and a £64 victim surcharge.
