former head of police force driving school banned from driving

The former head of a police force driving school has been banned from driving after admitting speeding at 118mph on the M9 motorway near Falkirk. Paul Gee, who recently retired from Durham Constabulary, had claimed he was carrying out a "risk assessment" for his force's driving school at the time. Mr Gee was banned from driving for three months and fined £500. Mr Gee argued that he had been travelling along the motorway and decided to carry out an on the spot risk assessment of high speeding driving. This argument was subsequently rejected by the court.
