Co Derry roofer caught doing 104 mph on A6 Glenshane dual carriageway handed 14-day disqualification
A Co Derry motorist detected travelling at 104 mph on the A6 Glenshane dual carriageway was handed a 14-day disqualification at Magherafelt Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
Roofer Carson Hepburn, aged 24, from Primity Terrace, Newbuildings, was also fined £160 arising out of the incident.
Hepburn was fined a further £200 with a £15 offender’s for using the vehicle without insurance on October 8 last year.
The prosecutor said the detection was made by police at approximately 3.30pm, and on speaking to Hepburn he made no reply.
The lawyer said checks showed the vehicle was not insured.
A defence lawyer, who handed in a reference letter from the defendant’s employer, pointed out that no other vehicles were affected by the defendant.
District Judge Conor Heaney said the high speed was concerning and anyone travelling at 104 mph will lose their licence. The judge allowed Hepburn 15 weeks to pay the fines.
