Drivers who went too fast on the A666/ St Peter’s Way in Bolton

The A666 at St Peter’s Way runs from the M60 ring road into the centre of the town.

It is subject to a 50mph speed limit which is monitored by average speed cameras.

The devices capture the speed at which a vehicle goes between two set spots on the route.

And a number of people have recently been found to have driven too fast in the area.

Below is a summary of the cases.

Benice Nkpokiti, 28, of Kennington Road, Ashford, Kent.

Nkpokiti admitted exceeding the 50mph speed limit on the A666 St Peter’s Way southbound between Bradford Street and the Raikes Lane slip road on July 4, 2025.

He appeared at court on May 27, 2026.

Manchester Magistrates’ Court fined him £130, ordered him to pay a £55 surcharge and £85 costs, and endorsed his licence with three penalty points after reopening the case and setting aside an earlier conviction for failing to identify the driver.
