Greenisland motorist wanting to 'go to toilet' hit speed of 100mph
A motorist who hit a speed of 100mph wanted to "go to the toilet".
Details were given to Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena on Tuesday (April 28).
Jacob Shibu (56), of Hartley Hall Green, Greenisland, was detected in an Audi Q5 at New Moneynick Road - a 70mph zone - in County Antrim at 8.15am on Sunday September 21 last year.
A defence barrister said the defendant "needed to go to the toilet and sped up to get to a place where he could do that".
The defendant was banned from driving for a month and was fined £150.
District Judge Nigel Broderick said: "Those who drive at 100mph-plus cause a danger on our roads and this is in the context of a tragic weekend for road traffic accidents in Northern Ireland.
"Far too many people lose their lives on our roads and they need to be kept safe."
