The former head of road policing at the Association of Chief Police Officers has been banned from driving for speeding, it has been reported.
Chief constable of South Yorkshire Police Meredydd Hughes was said to have been caught by a speed camera exceeding a 60 mph limit near Wrexham in May.
According to the BBC he was disqualified for 42 days and fined£350 by Wrexham Magistrates.
Mr Hughes, who has had strong views on speeding in the past, was not said to have been present at court and entered a guilty plea though his solicitor.
A spokeswoman for South Yorkshire Police said: 'South Yorkshire Police will continue to focus, under the leadership of the chief constable, on the issues that concern the people of South Yorkshire and that is maintaining the reductions in all major categories of crime as reported yesterday.'
