Foolish motorcyclist caught 36 times by same speed camera in just over two months

A 22-year-old motorcyclist named Barnaby Bowers-Hall was caught by a speed camera 36 times between May and August 2024 while riding above the 30 mph speed limit in Cornwall. His highest recorded speed was 77 mph with a passenger on board. He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving without insurance, and using a fraudulent registration mark. As a result, he received a four-month prison sentence (suspended), a 12-month driving ban, and a two-month curfew. Devon and Cornwall Police emphasized that his actions showed 'complete disregard' for road safety, highlighting the dangers of speeding. National data shows a slight decrease in road fatalities and serious injuries in 2024 despite increased traffic volume. Labour's Road Safety Strategy aims to cut road deaths by half by 2030.
