A solicitor took the stand in his own speeding case at Portlaoise District Court on Thursday last week.
Aonghus McCarthy, 35, of 21 Daneswell Place, Glasnevin, Dublin 9 was charged with speeding at the M7 Cappakeel on October 15, 2020.
Garda Alan Dunford told the court that Mr McCarthy was doing 149 in a 120 kph zone on the date in question.
An on the spot fine was issued but had gone unpaid.
Garda Dunford noted that the address on Mr McCarthy’s licence was different to that of his present address.
Mr McCarthy took the stand and in evidence said that he would have paid the initial fine if he had received it.
