Failure to pay a fixed charge speeding fine will cost a Ballinasloe man €1,000, a judge warned him when his case came before the local District Court.
Judge James Faughnan heard evidence from a Garda who was on patrol in an unmarked car on July 31 last in a 50kph zone that the defendant, Alan Hughes, 78 Hymany Park, Ballinasloe, sped past and his car was “bouncing off the road”.
The Garda activated his blue lights, followed, and observed the defendant continue to drive at high speed.
