Double speeder fined and banned

Benjamin Salisbury broke the speed limit twice within a matter of minutes.
In the first offence, he was 60mph in a 40mph limit at Reiss, and shortly afterwards he hit 90mph at Ackergill, where a 60mph limit was in force.
Salisbury, 21, admitted the offences which occurred on February 9 this year, at Wick Sheriff Court. He was fined £200 and banned for two months. The court heard that the police were dealing with other vehicles when the accused committed the first offence and detected the second one, after they caught up with him.
Salisbury, of Bag End, Road End, Watten, was said to have recently started a shed erection business.
