A Lamborghini driver caught speeding at 140mph (225kmph) has been temporarily banned from driving.

Fred McKennon, 60, of Elmstead Road, Colchester, Essex, was clocked by officers doing speed checks on the A120 dual carriageway at Takeley, near Stansted Airport, in January.

When they caught up with him they noticed he had illegal tinted front windows. The car was seized under anti-social driving legislation, said police.

McKennon appeared at Basildon Magistrates’ Court and was banned from driving for 56 days and received three penalty points on his licence for the tinted windows.
