Daci Bestar, of Morrell Close in Kidlington, admitted the offence on April 13 this year.

The 49-year-old was driving a DAF truck exceeding the speed limit on the A40 in Northolt, between Marnham Crescent (UB6) and A312 Church Road (UB5), on May 8 last year.

Bestar was fined £215 and ordered to pay £130 in costs, along with an £86 victim surcharge.

He received three penalty points on his licence.

Mitigating circumstances were taken into account, including the potential loss of his job, home, and its effect on his young children.

He was told to pay the full amount by May 11.

No driving disqualification was imposed by the court.
