A driver who lied to police about a speeding offence has been convicted.
Andrew Blades activated a speed camera on the A27 at Shoreham in December 2017, but told police another driver was behind the wheel.
The 47-year-old, of The Ruffitts, Croydon, Surrey, stuck to his fabricated explanation but was found guilty of perverting the course of justice following a three-day trial at Lewes Crown Court, which concluded on Thursday 20 June.
He was sentenced to five months’ imprisonment, suspended for 24 months, and ordered to carry out 180 hours of unpaid work. He was also required to pay £300 costs.
