A motorist hit a speed of 103mph.

Ray Bonner (34), of Ivy Terrace in Derry/Londonderry, was detected in a 70mph zone - the M22 motorway near Randalstown - on June 29 this year.

A defence solicitor said the defendant had no "useful explanation" for the speed.

At Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena on Tuesday, District Judge Nigel Broderick said because the defendant is a "key worker for vulnerable young people" a lengthy ban would impact not just on the defendant but those who depend on him for assistance.

The judge then handed down a two week driving ban along with a £500 fine.
