A BRACKNELL dad has been spared a driving ban because of his son’s ‘rare medical condition’.

The father, who we are not naming, was caught speeding in Twickenham on September 11, 2021.

According to a court file, the 46-year-old was going 47mph in a 40mph zone.

For this, he was given three points on his driving licence.

Repeat offenders who accumulate 12 points on their licence in a three-year period face a driving ban of at least six months.

Despite this, some motorists are spared these ‘totting disqualifications’ if mitigating circumstances are proven to the sentencing court.

In this case, the 46-year-old father was spared a driving ban because doing so would mean the loss of his job, according to a court file.

This would have an impact on his family and his son who has a ‘rare medical condition.’

Although the Bracknell man avoided a motoring ban, he was fined £280 and made to pay £34 in court costs.

He appeared at Lavender Hill Magistrates’ Court on June 1, 2022.
