Newtownabbey motorist (60) hit a speed of 70mph in a 40mph zone
A 60-year-old motorist hit a speed of 70mph in a 40mph at Antrim Road, Templepatrick, on November 26 last year.
At Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, District Judge Nigel Broderick read a letter submitted by the defendant who had no record.
Robert Speers, of Cherryvale Park, Newtownabbey, had been driving for 43 years.
The judge said normally for such a speed he would impose a ban but took into consideration the defendant was a carer for three individuals.
He was given five penalty points and fined £200.
