Mr John McAtamney, representing the defendant, said his client was driving to work to open up the yard.
District Judge, Mrs Bernie Kelly, said it was a very high speed for a 30mph area.
She imposed a fine of £150, ordered him to pay a £15 offender’s levy and gave him six points saying this was reflective of his high speed.
