M6 motorist who drove at 135mph in south Cumbria loses appeal against ban
Carlisle Crown Court
A speeding driver and repeat offender who travelled at about 135mph on the M6 in south Cumbria has lost his appeal against the ban he received.â¬
âªA police officer in a stationary marked patrol vehicle spotted 30-year-old Christopher Emeryâs black Ford Focus whizzing past junction 37 on the southbound carriageway just before 5pm on June 20 last year.â¬
âªBelieving Emery was breaking the speed limit, the PC used a laser device and recorded him travelling at 120mph.â¬
âªâThe officer immediately left his location to catch up with the vehicle,â prosecutor Niamh Ingham told Carlisle Crown Court, âreaching speeds in excess of 135mph in order to do so.ââ¬
