Bushmills R driver was doing double permitted speed in Volkswagen Golf
An R driver from the Bushmills area detected doing twice his permitted speed has been banned from driving for a month and fined £150.
George McAuley (18), of Ballyclogh Road, was detected in a Volkswagen Golf doing 91mph on the Lisnevenagh Road dual-carriageway near Antrim town on June 22 this year. His R plates meant he was restricted to 45mph.
A defence lawyer told Antrim Magistrates' Court, sitting in Ballymena, the defendant was going to collect a person who was "stranded for a lift" after being at a concert.
District Judge Nigel Broderick told the defendant it had been "far too high a speed" and had been "double what you should have been doing".
