Soldier driving at 143mph escapes ban 'so he can save lives in Afghanistan'




Soldier caught driving at 143mph has kept his licence after a judge said a ban would stop him carrying out life-saving work in Afghanistan.

Craftsman Kameron Edmondson, 20, faced a lengthy suspension after being clocked at nearly three times the speed limit on a stretch of motorway undergoing roadworks




Quote from the article:

But after his commanding officer said stripping him of his licence would prevent him training to join a unit that tackles roadside bombs, the judge agreed to let him keep driving.

He was fined £300 and ordered to pay £80 costs. He was also given six points on his licence
