Motorist had 'no explanation' for hitting speed of 100mph
A motorist caught doing 100mph at Rathbeg on the M2 motorway near Antrm town - a 70mph zone - has been banned from driving for a month and fined £200.
Brian Hamilton (49), of Willisfield Gardens, Belfast, was in a Ford Mondeo at 11.05pm on January 31 this year.
When pulled over the defendant apologised to police, said a prosecutor.
A defence barrister told Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, the defendant had "no explanation" for doing such a speed.
He said the defendant is a "self-employed taxi man" who "drives for Uber".
