The solicitor said her client was driving home late at night and the speed had crept up.
District Judge Amanda Brady said she didn’t accept speed could creep up to 110mph and said it was a deliberate act. She added that on this occasion she would allow her to keep her licence given that the offence happened some time ago and she had no record.
