A FARMER with 39 points already on his driving licence was caught speeding five times by the same speed camera in just eight days in a 30mph zone, a court has been told.

Colin Martin Fowler, aged 58, Trenoweth Farm, Gweek, Helston was due to appear for sentencing today (Thursday) at Truro Magistrates' Court after being proved in his absence at a trial on September 28 to which he also failed to appear.

Fowler was caught speeding in a Land Rover Discovery by the same speed camera exceeding 30mph on the A394 at Longdowns near Penryn on five separate occasions in February. The camera recorded him speeding on February 11, twice on February 15, February 16 and February 18 this year.
