Driving ban for speeding motorcyclist

A motorcyclist's been banned from driving for a year after being caught 36 times going at more than double the speed limit on a road in Devon.

Barnaby Bowers-Hall, 22, of Kel Avon Close in Truro, admitted to speeding after a fixed camera on Longdowns caught him riding his motorcycle above the 30mph limit 36 times between 23 May and 2 August 2024.

On one occasion, he was captured riding 77mph with a passenger on the back of the motorcycle.

Bowers-Hall pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence, driving with no insurance and fraudulent use of a registration mark.

Appearing at Truro Crown Court on 30th July 2026, he was sentenced to four months imprisonment, suspended for two years, disqualified from driving for 12 months and ordered to abide by a two-month electronically monitored curfew.

He will remain disqualified from driving until he has taken an extended driving test.

Force Operations Manager in the Road Safety Team, David Routley, said: "It was clear from Bowers-Hall repeated and deliberate breaches of the speed limit that he showed a complete disregard for the safety of other road users and pedestrians.

“Speeding remains one of the leading causes of deaths and serious injuries on our roads, and it is an offence that we will continue to treat seriously and tackle robustly.

“Keeping people safe from harm is at the heart of everything we do and taking action against careless and dangerous drivers is a key part of our commitment to making our roads safer for everyone."
