Brian Wilson, aged 48, drove a Renault Master van on St Peter's Way southbound at 60mph on September 3 last year. Wilson, of Peatfield Avenue, Swinton, pleaded guilty and was sentenced at Bolton Magistrates' on August 1. He was given three points, fined ?100 and ordered to pay a ?40 surcharge.
John Vose, aged 53, drove a Ford Transit van on Chorley New Road in Horwich at 37mph on October 26 last year. The limit on the road is 30mph. Vose, of Babylon Lane, Heath Charnock, Chorley, was sentenced at Bolton Magistrates' on July 23.
He was given three points, fined ?230 and ordered to pay ?120 costs and a ?92 surcharge.
Vose avoided disqualification due to being a self-employed building contractor, employing two people who cannot drive his van.
