A MAN who was caught breaking a 60mph speed limit has been handed a £220 fine and three penalty points.

Eddie Suen, 54, of Messing Road, Tiptree, was caught travelling at 70mph in a 60mph zone on the A16.

The case was proved via the single justice procedure at Boston Magistrates’ Court on January 13.

This means the case was decided by a magistrate and defendants don't have to appear in court.

Suen was handed three penalty points and a fine of £220.

He must also pay a £34 victim services charge and £90 costs.
