When stopped and cautioned by police the defendant was reported to have said: “I was dying for the toilet.”

Mensik pleaded guilty himself in court.

District Judge, Mrs Bernie Kelly, said there was no reason to be travelling at 102mph.

Imposing the two week ban the judge said it was to mark the seriousness of the matter.
