Police have caught 147 speeding vehicles in a two hour period on a stretch of road to the north of Norwich. That's one driver a minute.
The mobile cameras also spotted three motorists going through red lights, and one who collided with traffic cones.
They monitored Reepham Road on a reduced 30mph zone - the speed limit was put in place due to construction work for the Northern Distributor Road.
A spokeswoman for the local Speed Watch group commented: "That number of cars speeding is dreadful, I have really got no patience with people who exceed the designated speed limits - they are there for everybody’s safety."
She added: "They are not going to save many minutes on their journey, and they usually find they are just speeding between one set of traffic lights and another."

Yes, he got a 56 day ban which is the maximum allowed for a speeding offence.
I don't know if it still applies, but the Dutch classed cars going 50 kph over the limit as dangerous driving and confiscated the car as well as a ban. That's how they got their nice Porsche 911 Targas for their traffic police. Germans used to go blasting across the border on a deregulated Autobahn and not slow down.

Is that documented somewhere?

Are you sure it wasn't the minimum they could give?
What is the likely length of an instant ban for a speeding offence?
It can vary from 7 to 56 days in most cases but in extreme case, could be as long as 120 days. The range of penalty points is 3–6 but in certain circumstances, the Court will impose an immediate ban and no points. However, if you already have 6 or more points on your licence and the speed alleged is so high that you would normally face an instant ban, the probability is that the Court will impose 6 points which would make your total 12 or more and you would face a totting up ban of 6 months.

Bit your link says between 100 - 110 in a 70 zone. He was doing 156MPH in a ? zone.

That's the problem - they don't allow for drivers doing silly speeds!

Yet a motorcyclist got banned and locked up for the same speed, no justice
