7 Road works were being carried out between two motorway junctions 32 km apart.
Due to the road works, the speed limit was reduced from 80 mph to 50 mph.
Average speed check cameras were installed to fine anyone exceeding the speed limit.
A car took 20 minutes to travel between the two junctions.

5 miles = 8 km

Will the driver receive a speeding fine? You must fully justify your answer.
