A DRIVER has been slapped with a large fine for driving 'over 40mph' on the motorway near Worcester after being caught by variable speed limit cameras.
Sally Ruddle, 60, was clocked speeding on the M5 in her Citroen between junctions 4a and 6 (Worcester).
The case was heard at Worcester Magistrates Court on Thursday, April 25 after Ruddle of Sandown Drive, Chippenham, was caught on the northbound carriageway by variable speed limit cameras on September 30 last year.
Court documents show she was travelling at a speed 'exceeding 40 miles per hour'. A guilty plea was entered via the single justice procedure.
Ruddle was fined £293, ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £117 and costs of £90.
Her driving record was also endorsed with four penalty points. A collection order was also made, giving magistrates additional powers to recover the money.
