Dervock motorist detected doing 105mph for a second time
A Co Antrim motorist who hit a speed of 105mph in a Mercedes G63 said that he was on his way home from work and had to get "medication" for a family member.
John Sharkey (48), of Knock Road, Dervock, was detected at a 70mph zone on the Frosses Road near Ballymena at 10.35pm on Friday, September 26, of last year.
He also had an incorrect form of number plate on a vehicle with "smaller digits" which were "darkened and tinted grey".
The case was mentioned at Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, on Tuesday (April 28) which was told that the defendant had previously been dealt with at court in August 2024 for doing a speed of 105mph.
District Judge Nigel Broderick said that the defendant should have learned a lesson from the previous court and has now banned him from driving for three months and fined him £260.
