A nurse who was caught speeding five times in just 19 days was banned from the roads despite arguing she needed her car.
Mum-of-five Natasha Hubble, 36, was 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.
But the aesthetics specialist, from Knowsley, begged not to be banned from driving, saying she clocked up almost 600 miles a week travelling to work, doing the school run and taking her son to football matches.

She said her family ''relied' on her for lifts and claimed her husband Chris, 37, who is director of an engineering firm was ''not much assistance'' as he was busy with his own work and 7.30am starts.
At Tameside magistrates court, Hubble admitted speeding while attempting to avoid a road ban because her family would suffer "exceptional hardship".
But despite her pleas, she was disqualified for six months and fined £476 with £142 costs.
The incidents occurred between September 3 and 22 2020 as Hubble was driving her BMW 220D M Sport Auto between Junctions 11 and 12 of the M62 in Salford.
Her lawyer Charles Stansfield said up until the "rash offences" she has had a "clean driving license for 14 years" and presumed because there were no road works, the temporary limit was no longer in force.
The court was told she has completed a speed awareness course and pleas were made to not ban her from driving.
Her lawyer added: "She would have a good number of points hanging over her head for the foreseeable future. Because of covid and the backlog of cases, she would have served that period long ago. Part of her business which is a mobile expert in non-invasive aesthetics took a nose dive completely during covid.
''She has five children, age two, six, 10, 13 and the 15 and has to get them to school and back with three different drop offs."
The court was told an average driving week would see Hubble travelling hundreds of miles for work as well as taking children to school and football.
One week saw her drive a total of 577.3miles.
Mr Stansfield added: ''She is a bank nurse with Aintree Hospital which she does once per week and has to drive there for her overnight shift. Secondly, she has her own mobile business which is picking up now and she has also started tutoring to what she specialises in.
''She will find clinics and give training to their operatives throughout Liverpool, Merseyside, Cheshire and Greater Manchester. She has also just started a wholesaling business for the products she uses in her business.
''They are hoping to get a premises but at the moment, she delivers the product in person, which is another reason why she needs to be able to drive."
Hubble's husband works as a refrigeration and air conditioning service engineer who works from 7.30am and gets home as late as 8pm.
The court was told he is "tied up doing his own occupation" and the family relies on Hubble's ability to drive.
Mr Stansfield said the offences happened over a "very short period" and now her family life is in "serious jeopardy", adding: "I think what comes in goes out and in other circumstances, she would be applauded for what she does in an average week.
“She is desperately sorry for the situation she has got herself in. She has asked me to ask you not to ban her at all. She will not commit anymore offences as she knows what she has done. She will not be before the courts again.”
But JP Maxine Hamer told her: “The bench takes speeding very seriously. We have heard a lot about your family circumstances and how you work for yourself and your husband as well as your travel.
"However, you have failed to meet the threshold needed for exceptional hardship. We have heard hardship and inconvenience but not exceptional hardship.''
