A judge moved to explain to repentant speeding crime boss Caroline Henry just why there are speed limits on our roads. The "truly sorry" 52-year-old mum, who argued she needed her car to commute to see her children, was delivered the long arm of the law on Monday, July 18.
She was handed a fine of £490 on each of the five speeding offences she committed across Nottinghamshire over the course of just four months. On what has been one of the hottest days of the year, she left court on Monday (July 18) with a total fine of £2,450, an order to pay a victim surcharge of £190, prosecution costs, and a six-month driving ban.
Her licence will now carry 15 fresh penalty points. Henry, of Orchil Street, Giltbrook - who is paid more than £76,000 per year for her role which includes scrutinising the performance of Nottinghamshire Police - was sentenced by Judge Leo Pyle at Nottingham Magistrates' Court.
