AN Audi driver from Chard has been ordered to pay £574 after he was clocked driving at 93mph on a dual carriageway in Dorset.
Richard Graham Lacey, of Halcombe, was caught speeding on the A35 Puddletown Bypass on September 4, 2021.
Lacey, 39, was proved guilty under the single justice procedure on Tuesday, April 12.
The single justice procedure allows people charged with a minor criminal offence to have their case decided by a magistrate without going to court.
He was fined £440 and ordered to pay £90 in court costs and a £44 surcharge to fund victim services by a magistrate in Weymouth.
Lacey has until April 26 to pay his £574 court bill.
He was also handed five penalty points.
