A TAUNTON man has been fined £220 for exceeding the speed limit by 10mph.

Oxford Magistrates’ Court heard last week that Christopher Parr, of Leaches Mead, Bathpool, was recorded driving at 40mph in a 30mph zone.

Parr, 39, was driving a Mercedes-Benz on the North Orbital Road in Denham, Buckinghamshire, on Wednesday, February 10.

Alongside the £220 fine, Mr Parr must pay a £34 surcharge to fund victim services and costs of £90 by October 7.

He was handed three penalty points.
