A REPEAT offender has been banned from the roads after he was caught speeding on a main road.

Herefordshire man Pietro Pravettoni entered a guilty plea to magistrates in Lavender Hill.

The court heard the 36-year-old had been caught breaking the limit behind the wheel of a Peugeot in a 40 miles per hour zone on the A40 in Ealing, London, on July 3.

Pravettoni, of The Southend, Ledbury, was fined £369, disqualified from driving for six months due to repeat offending, and received three penalty points. He must also pay costs of £90 and a £37 victim surcharge.
