Inverness driver spotted at 70mph in 30mph zone
A man was caught driving at 70mph in a 30mph zone.
Rafshanur Khan (29) was travelling on the B9039 Old Military Road, Dalcross when police on patrol stopped him on July 11 last year.
Fiscal depute Shay Trainor told Sheriff Gary Aitken at Inverness Sheriff Court that speed limits on the back road to Inverness Airport varied on different sections, going from 30mph up to 50mph and then back to 30mph again.
He said: “Police noted the speed of 70mph in the 30mph zone.
“They stopped Khan and explained his actions to him.”
Khan, of Murray Place, pleaded guilty to driving at excessive speed without due or care or attention.
Sheriff Aitken fined him a total of £680 and endorsed his licence with eight penalty points.
He told Khan: “You now have 11 penalty points. You better behave behind the wheel or you can wave bye bye to your driving licence.”
Khan’s defence solicitor, Samantha Morrison, said: “He is very remorseful.”
