Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 06:01 · Archive

A 24-year-old Wiltshire man has been fined and disqualified from driving after being caught speeding twice on the M4.

Larry Rooney, 24, of High Street in Corsham, Wiltshire, appeared at Bath Law Courts on October 15 where he pleaded guilty to two counts of speeding on the M4. On July 27, 2025, he was caught driving at 57mph westbound on the motorway between junctions 18 and 19 while a temporary speed limit of 50mph was in place.

At the same hearing, Rooney was also convicted of failing to provide information relating to the identification of the driver of a vehicle when required. This charge related to an incident on September 12, 2025, when he failed to give information about a driver alleged to have committed an offence.

For each of the two speeding offences, Rooney was fined £138 and handed three penalty points. For the failing to provide information conviction, he received a more substantial penalty: a fine of £623, a nine-month driving disqualification and six notional penalty points.

In addition to the fines, Rooney was ordered to pay costs totalling £138.
