Driving ban for motorist who overtook two cars at 106mph on A96

An offshore worker who overtook two cars at 106mph in a 60 mph zone was banned from driving for six months yesterday.

Glynn Davies, of St Leonard’s Street, Forres, admitted driving carelessly on the A96 at Tomhommie on May 5.

Inverness Sheriff Court was told a police speed check was being carried out on a straight stretch of road and clocked Davies at the high speed.

Defence solicitor John MacColl said: “He travelled at this speed for only a short period. He accepts that he will be disqualified.”

Davies was also fined £750.
