Hide AdA defence solicitor said the incident happened at 2.30am and defendant was in a rush to get home.
He pleaded with the court not to impose a disqualification as Fleming required his licence to get to college and in relation to his trade.
Warning him to slow down, District Judge Alan White said this was the kind of driving which often resulted in accidents.
