Reports are coming in that Med Hughes, former top traffic cop has been disqualified for 42 days at Wrexham magistrates court for driving at 90mph in a 60mph zone.

Paul Smith, founder of SafeSpeed.org.uk, said: "Were you driving safely Mr Hughes? If you were, then you have been lying to us about the importance of sticking to the speed limit."

"We don't believe for a single second that Mr Hughes was driving dangerously and he must now tell us the truth about the role of speed limits in road safety."

"Speed enforcement has become a ridiculous obsession to the severe detriment of far more important aspects of road safety."

"The hypocrisy is breathtaking. Mr Hughes should clearly have been preaching what he practices - because clearly he knows that exceeding the speed limit isn't necessarily dangerous."
