A 67-year-old Wigan truck driver has been spared a ban even though his latest motoring conviction takes him over the usual 12-point threshold.
Borough magistrates heard that both Thomas Marshall and his wife are disabled and that if he were disqualified from the road he would lose his job and it would cause exceptional hardship to them both.
This was after Marshall, of Harold Avenue, Ashton, was caught breaking a 40mph speed limit in Norfolk last October by seven miles an hour.
