A company boss caught speeding at 119mph in his luxury brand new BMW moaned he would be unable to afford to get taxis to his local gym if he was banned from driving.
Director Dean Crawford, 42, faced being barred under the totting up procedure after he was clocked speeding on the M58 westbound near Skelmersdale, Lancashire.
His M135i XDrive Auto is worth around £37,000 - but Crawford, who is director of three companies, including a waste disposal business and a window shutter repair firm, has refused pleas to sell it to free up funds for travel expenses, instead telling the court he was on benefits and making a plea for "exceptional hardship".
