Coleraine R driver hit speed of 81mph on the Frosses Road, court hears

A Coleraine R driver hit a speed of 81mph despite being restricted to 45mph, a court has heard.

Stephen Clyde (33), of Killowen Street, was detected on the A26 Frosses Road near Ballymena on August 22 this year. There were no R plates displayed.

Ballymena Magistrates' Court was told the defendant had 97 previous convictions but a defence solicitor said his client "has managed to get his life in order".

The court heard that on August 22 the defendant was "late for an appointment".

He was banned from driving for one month and was fined £125.
