He said Armstrong worked as a stockroom assistant, lived in a rural area, and his licence is essential.

The solicitor said the defendant would have been offered a fixed penalty up to 90mph but he was only over.

Imposing the penalty along with a £15 offender's levy, District Judge Oonagh Mullan remarked that she couldn't believe he would be offered a fixed penalty for such a high speed.
