HUMBERSIDE'S Police and Crime Commissioner has been caught speeding. Matthew Grove was recorded driving at 36mph on the Peaks Parkway in Grimsby, while driving back from a Question Time event. He will now attend a speed awareness course.
Mr Grove, who admitted he was the driver caught speeding last month, has accepted the conditional offer of the speed awareness course with a fee of £95.
He said: "I have driven over 20,000 miles this year and have a clean driving licence. I am therefore disappointed my driving was not to the required standard on this occasion. I will continue to drive myself to meetings and welcome this opportunity to use the course to reflect on my standard of driving."
Mr Grove was caught at a controversial spot in which the cameras were switched on at the start of October. The speeding comes just a month after his deputy Paul Robinson pledged to drive more carefully after being caught breaking traffic laws for a second time.
Mr Robinson was fined £100 after being caught driving at 90mph on a motorway– 20mph over the speed limit. Last year Mr Robinson was seen using his mobile phone as he drove across the Humber Bridge.
