Judge said Antrim driver was doing 'motorway speed' in 40mph zone
A Judge said a motorist caught doing a "motorway speed" in a 40mph zone could have killed somebody if there had been a collision.
Scott Fisher (24), of Oldstone Road at Antrim town, was caught driving at 70mph at Sevenmilestraight near Antrim on June 14 this year.
A defence solicitor told Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena on Tuesday, the defendant was "very apologetic".
District Judge Nigel Broderick said there must be a deterrence factor in such cases and police often run information campaigns in the media that high speeds can cause accidents.
The defendant was banned from driving for a month and was fined £200.
