A Flackwell Heath driver has been fined nearly £200 for driving at 60mph on the motorway.
Van driver Paul Wicks was travelling along the M4 between Junction 7 Slough and Junction 8/9 Maidenhead when he was caught breaking the 50mph average speed limit.
Wicks, 62, of Old Kiln Road in Flackwell Heath was in a Ford Transit when he was caught on camera travelling at 60mph on October 22, 2020.

Wicks pleaded not guilty to a charge of speeding, but was found guilty in his absence at a hearing at Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on February 3.
The driver was fined £175 and ordered to pay a further £184 in costs.
His driving licence was endorsed with three points, but he avoided a totting-up ban. The court heard that a disqualification would “create a period of unemployment that would have a significant financial impact on his household.”
