A SERIAL speeder is back behind bars after being repeatedly caught speeding while banned from driving.

Seyed Tehrany was snapped by speed cameras around Hampshire on three different occasions and sent notices informing him that he would be prosecuted.

However, the 50-year-old was already locked up when the speeding notices were sent to his house – having been stopped and arrested by police for driving while disqualified.

Tehrany, 50, of Sycamore Close, Bursledon, was serving 16 weeks and was subject to a driving ban lasting until 2011 following his conviction on August 22 last year.

He was released in November after serving three months – but police soon caught up with him again.

Tehrany was picked up and arrested outside his home for the three speeding offences he had not yet faced. During interview he admitted to three counts of driving while disqualified.

The first happened on June 13 last year when he was caught doing 40mph in a 30mph zone in Maybray King Way, Southampton.

The second happened on June 30, when Tehrany was snapped by safety cameras in Mile End Road, Portsmouth, travelling at 47mph in a 40mph road.

The final notice was after cameras flashed him on Northam Bridge in Southampton on August 14, driving a different car and travelling at 37mph in a 30mph zone.

Tehrany appeared before Southampton Magistrates’ Court, where he pleaded guilty to three counts of driving while disqualified, driving with no insurance and driving at excess speed.

He was jailed for six months and banned from driving for three years.

Julian Hewitt, of the Safer Roads Partnership, said Tehrany being sent back to jail was a warning to other drivers who disregard the law.

He said: “This is a good example of solid investigation by partnership intelligence staff paying off. Mr Tehrany was a serial speeder and disqualified driver who showed no respect for the law of the land or for the safety of other road users.

“It flags up to those who are tempted to treat the law with contempt that we will tenaciously pursue them and they will not get away with it.”

PC Mick Gear, of Hampshire police, said: “This case shows that just because you are disqualified you can’t get away with breaking the law. We will always use the best evidence available to bring people to justice.”
