A MOTORIST from Gobowen was clocked travelling at almost 100mph on a motorway, a court has been told.
Last month, Barry Michael Minns admitted that he drove a vehicle at 97mph on the M5 between Junctions 26 and 27 in Somerset, on December 17, 2021, after he was captured by an automatic camera device.
The speed limit on that section of road was 70mph.
