The court heard that an officer on an unmarked police motorcycle was overtaken by Galloway, who was on a Honda Grom displaying L plates, on June 4.
Defence advocate Jim Travers said his client had taken responsibility and attended police headquarters voluntarily after being contacted.
Galloway, of Royal Drive, Onchan, must also pay £50 prosecution costs.
