Dion Sanderson of Wolverhampton Wanderers was caught speeding in Lincolnshire twice in the middle of the night
Half an hour later, at 2.35am, another average speed camera captured Sanderson's Range Rover Sport travelling along the A52 between Haltoft End and Butterwick, just east of Boston, at 54mph. The speed limit was 40mph. "It's not an area he is familiar with," Mr Smith said."He didn't know the roads and was not aware of any flashes. Then he got a notice and he was extremely surprised. He usually drives very carefully."
Sanderson himself took to the dock to plead exceptional hardship, saying that losing his ability to drive could affect his family, who he supports financially.Sanderson also said that the risk of being late for training at Birmingham City could lead to club fines and not being included in matchday squads, something which could"have a big impact" on his career.
