RAF pilot grounded by driving ban
An RAF Nimrod pilot caught speeding at 109 miles per hour has been given a reduced driving ban of one month instead of the ususal four.

Sheriff Lindsay Foulis said the ban was reduced as it would cause inconvenience and could compromise the effectiveness of the Nimrod search and rescue team.

He also considered the fact that giving him a longer ban will bar him from driving operationally when the pilot deploys to the Gulf.
