Larne businessman caught doing 99mph in BMW X5 on Glenshane Road warned to think carefully before putting his foot down
A Co Antrim motorist detected travelling at 99mph near Maghera, has been fined £250 with a £15 offender's levy at Magherafelt Magistrates Court.
District Judge Conor Heaney remarked it was a high speed and warned the defendant to think carefully before putting his foot down in future.
Businessman Mark McKee, aged 42, of Blackcave North, Larne, was also handed six penalty points arising out of the incident on September 27 last year.
Prosecuting counsel said the detection was made by a mobile camera on the A6 Glenshane Road at approximately 1.15 pm when a BMW X5 was detected doing 99mph.
The lawyer said a fixed penalty had been issued but the defendant failed to take it up.
McKee said he was on his way to Derry / Londonderry and accepted the seriousness of the offence.
He claimed the fixed penalty had gone to his business address and by the time he completed the forms it was too late.
