A Lakenheath mechanic who was caught going 154mph in his Seat Leon on the A11 has been banned from driving for 56 days.
Louie Howlett, 21, of Lakenheath high street, admitted going more than double the national speed limit on the A11 southbound at Icklingham.
When quizzed by magistrates in Bury St Edmunds this morning what was going through his mind at the time, he said: “Not a great deal.”
“This really was a stupid thing to do, I hope you appreciate that fact, especially as you will be paying a lot of money for a long time,” said chairman of the magistrates Sue Burton-Griffiths.
Howlett was caught by an officer with a speed gun at 8.55pm on April 18 this year.

“I’m very sorry for what I’ve done,” Howlett told the court.
