District Judge Nigel Broderick was speaking at Ballymena Magistrates Court which heard Kerrie McNinch (26), of Rathmore Heights in Ballymena, was caught doing 77mph in a 60mph at 5.30am on December 13 last year at Moorfields Road near the town.

Instead of giving the defendant three penalty points which would have led to a six months ban for reaching twelve points, the judge said he was banning her for a month along with a fine of £200 but the nine penalty points remain in place. Judge Broderick said: "When you are sitting on nine points you should studiously observe the speed limits."
