Newcastle Driver Faces Charges for 89mph Speed in 30mph Zone
Mohammed Ashtak drove a BMW. He went 89 mph on Newcastle’s West Road where the limit is 30 mph. This happened on a Saturday around 10 a.m., when other cars were present. He’s 36 and had a prior dangerous driving charge.
The camera footage showed Ashtak driving, which allowed for easy identification. He was charged with dangerous driving because his speed was extremely high, thus avoiding a simple speeding ticket.
Ashtak lived on Wooperton Gardens. He admitted guilt in court, and an officer confirmed using a speed camera on January 25 on the West Road. Ruth Forster was the prosecutor.
Forster stated Ashtak drove very fast, hitting 89 mph in a 30 mph zone. This happened in a busy area.
Ashtak had 23 past offences, yet avoided trouble since 2016. Kash Khan defended Ashtak, saying speed was his only mistake.
Khan noted the high speed and wanted probation involved in sentencing. Ashtak’s prior driving offence was in 2009.
The court ordered community service of 200 hours of work. Ashtak must also pay £85 in costs and owes a £114 victim surcharge. He can’t drive for one year.
