She was spotted by police on November 5 last year driving an Audi A3 on the Banbridge Road, Dromore.
Taylor’s barrister Mr Conor Lunny admitted she has an "unhelpful” record and “should have learned her lesson by now” as this is her third time.
Mr Lunny said he had spoken to her parents, who attended court and who were “not altogether impressed by her actions”.
He revealed that on the night in question her parents were out and her younger 16-year-old brother had hurt himself so she was rushing home to his aid.
He said her licence is essential to her and pointed out she is “on the brink” of losing her licence at six penalty points.
She was given five penalty points and fined £250 plus £15 Offender Levy.
