Northampton magistrates slapped an £800 court bill and six points on a woman caught speeding twice in Daventry in the space of 95 minutes.

Court documents showed 59-year-old Denise Anne Cockerton was snapped by an enforcement team while behind the wheel of a Ford EcoSport on two roads where a 30mph limit was in force on December 1, 2023.

Cockerton admitted travelling at 36mph in Western Avenue, Daventry, at 11.41am AND 40mph in Thames Road — around half a mile away — at 1.16pm.

According to prosecutors, the speed limit on both stretches of roads was signified by street lighting placed at less than 200 yard intervals.
