Two men have been banned from driving after being caught speeding multiple times along the same stretch of the A46.

The two men were described as "careless" and "thinking the rules of the road don't apply to them" after they appeared at Leamington Crown Court on Tuesday (14 February).

A man from Coventry was caught speeding through the roadworks on the dual carriageway near Stoneleigh four times in the space of nine weeks. He already had six points on his licence.

A man from Claverdon was caught speeding on the stretch of road twice in the same day and again a week later. He already had nine points on his licence.

They were among four people banned from driving for speeding in Warwickshire this week.

In addition, a man from Derbyshire was banned for six months and ordered to pay a fine of £1,037 after he was caught doing 108 miles per hour on the M69 in May last year.

Despite previously having a clean licence, a man from Coventry was banned after being caught by an unmarked police car doing 115 miles per hour on the M6.

Insp Jem Mountford from the Warwickshire Police Roads Policing Unit said: "Getting caught several times for speeding on the same stretch of road over such a short period of time is either careless or the sign of someone who thinks the rules of the road don't apply to them.

"Speeding remains the number one cause of death and serious injuries on our roads; it puts everyone else on the road in danger and can have a devastating impact.

"Speed limits are there for a reason."
