Driving at a "constant" speed of 120mph for a fifth of a mile has landed a Watford motorist a £534 bill.
Naveed Ghazanfar has admitted to driving way over the 70mph speed limit anti-clockwise on the M25 near Brentwood.
A calibrated speedometer showed that the 41-year-old’s Toyota had maintained the constant 120mph speed for a fifth of a mile, which would still only have been six seconds.
