A nurse who was caught speeding five times in just 19 days has been banned from the roads despite arguing she needed her car as her businessman husband was too ''tied up'' with work to carpool their family.

Mother of five Natasha Hubble, 36, had been caught by the same set of speed cameras driving her NHS fleet car at between 58-63mph on a temporary 50mph stretch of the M62 motorway near Manchester.

But the aesthetics specialist pleaded not to be banned from driving, stating she runs up to 550 miles a week travelling to work, doing the school run and taking her one-year-old son to football matches.

Tameside magistrates court heard Mrs Hubble admit to speeding while attempting to avoid a road ban because her family would suffer "exceptional hardship".
