Young Co Tyrone motorist clocked at 102mph on dual carriageway between Moneymore and Cookstown

Connor Trowbridge, aged 20, from Pinefield Court in Omagh, was also fined £200 with a £15 offender’s when he appeared at Dungannon Magistrates Court.

The court heard the speeding offence was detected by police at approximately 9.20pm on April 13 last.

A defence solicitor accepted it was an “inordinately high speed”, and said the defendant had not been paying attention to his speed.

He stressed there was no suggestion of recklessness or of anyone else being inconvenienced by the defendant’s driving.

The solicitor said Trowbridge has no previous endorsements and is a salesperson in six months probation until September.

District Judge Francis Rafferty said that he will not be driving between now and September.

"Anyone caught driving over 100mph can expect to lose their licence in this court,” he remarked.
