Fine-dodging taxi driver jailed

A taxi driver has been jailed for six months after twice trying to dodge fines and penalty points for speeding in Birmingham.

Mohammed Qayum, a Hackney Carriage driver licensed in Birmingham, was clocked on the M42 doing 60mph in a 50mph zone in March 2012. His Peugeot taxi activated a temporary speed camera between junctions six and seven on the northbound carriageway and a prosecution form was sent to his Aston home.
