The court heard that a camera caught Eatock travelling at 82mph when the limit was set at 40

The case was adjourned until August 1 when the defendant is expected to enter a plea.

In a separate case on the same day in court, another Wigan man was penalised for breaking the speed limit by almost 30mph on the same stretch

of the M62 (between junctions 11 and 10).

This was on May 1 last year when the limit was set at 70mph and 48-year-old Cristian Iordan drove his BMW at 99mph.

His driver's licence was endorsed with six points and he has a fine, court costs and a victim services surcharge totalling £385 to pay.
