The following cases were heard by magistrates recently:

* A Douglas motorist who was driving at nearly double the speed limit during the TT period has been fined £500 and given eight penalty points.

Brandon Illiam Mellows sent a postal admission to the offence and was also ordered by magistrates to pay £50 prosecution costs.

The court heard that the 34-year-old was driving on Jurby Road in Ramsey on June 1.

Police performing speed checks clocked him driving at 58mph in a 30mph zone.

In written mitigation sent to the court, Mellows, who lives at Poplar Road, said that it’d been a momentary lack of judgement, and he’d believed he was out of the 30 zone.

He’ll pay the fine and costs at a rate of £200 per month.
