A man's been banned from driving - for speeding though a York village at more than twice the limit.

22 year-old Reece Dunn, from Skelton, hit 86mph in a 40mph zone - just a few hundred metres from his home address.

He was disqualified from driving for 70 days and fined £400 at Harrogate Magistrates’ Court.

After the conviction, Traffic Constable Forth said: “I welcome the disqualification issued by the courts – travelling at that speed is totally irresponsible.

"It’s all the more surprising that Dunn chose to do this in a vehicle which belonged to his employer and was literally around the corner from his family home.

“I hope that the penalty issued deterred others from travelling at speeds in excess of the speed limit in North Yorkshire.”
