Forty-eight-year-old Gavin George McCoy from Mullanmore Road, Carrickmore, was also fined £200 with a £15 offender's levy.

Prosecuting counsel told the court the defendant was detected travelling at 108mph on the A4 Ballygawley to Dungannon road on December 23 last year.

A defence lawyer said the bodycam footage showed speeds of 95mph, 103mph and 108mph with that region.

He said the defendant drives over to England in connection with his work and handed in a reference from his employer.

Counsel said McCoy has been eight and a half years with the same employer without any issues.

He added that the defendant did not offer any explanation as to why he was driving at such a speed.

District Judge Francis Rafferty remarked that any speed in three digits carried a disqualification.
