A Winchester man has been resentenced for speeding on the M25 after having his conviction overturned.
Jack Downham, 32, was convicted on Tuesday, January 7 after he was caught exceeding the 70mph speed limit on the M25 between junctions 9 and 10 on June 27, 2024.
It was found that he was speeding in an Audi by an automatic camera device.
However, an application was made to the court to reopen the case following the conviction.

On Wednesday, April 16, at Guildford Magistrates' Court, the case was reopened.
The conviction and sentence were set aside, and the licence endorsement was removed.
Despite this, a new case was opened against Downham for speeding on the same date last year at the same location in Leatherhead, Surrey.
He pleaded guilty and was fined £72.
He was ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £29 and had his driving record endorsed with three points.
No order for costs was made.
The court took his guilty plea into account when imposing the sentence.
