A car which had been signalled to stop after a microwave speed check had first slowed, then accelerated, turned twice and travelled about 500 yards without lights before stopping at traffic lights, Traffic Officer W.

Alan Wayne Boyd, aged 25. a panel beater the driver of the car, had been charged with driving at a speed which might have been dangerous. He was fined £l5 and his licence was cancelled for 18 months. Traffic Officer Nicholas, in evidence, said about 8.10 p.m. on August 26 he had checked by microwave at a speed of 50 miles an hour, a car travelling west along Woodham road. The car was signalled to stop using an illuminated sign. The car had slowed and then when about level with the patrol car accelerated away turning into Worcester street and then into Wyon street. When about half way along Wyon street the car’s lights bad gone out. It travelled about 500 yards along that street at 40 m.p.h. without lights. At the Buckley’s road intersection he had been able to get alongside the car and speak to the driver as it was stopped. Traffic Officer Nicholas said.
