Young driver was speeding at 100mph

Shopkeeper caught after weaving over lane markings on roundabout

A shopkeeper has been banned from driving after he was clocked reaching speeds of up to 100mph on a Fife road.

Bashir Naeem admitted driving without due care on April 5 after an unmarked police car initially spotted him on the A92 near Glenrothes

The 20-year-old was seen weaving over lane markings on the Bankhead roundabout and failed to indicate as he drove off on to the B921 Kinglassie road.

He then accelerated away at speed with officers noting he reached 100mph before they pulled him over.

Checks were carried out at the side of the road which revealed that Naeem did not have insurance in place on his silver Toyota.

He was banned from driving for four and half months at Kirkcaldy Sheriff Court.

The businessman, who runs shops in Buckhaven and Perth, was also fined £750 for the two charges and six points were added to his licence.

Depute fiscal Nicola Henderson told the court that despite the high speed involved, Naeem had not been convicted of dangerous driving as there were no other vehicles around.

Defence solicitor Steven Farmer said: “The no insurance was a genuine mistake.”

Naeem, of Donibristle Gardens in Dalgety Bay, admitted driving without due care or attention by failing to observe lane markings, not keeping proper control of his vehicle, failing to indicate, not negotiating roundabouts correctly and driving at speed.

Sheriff Christopher Shead said: “The court has concluded that it is in the public interest for you to be disqualified.”

Bashir Naeem, of Dalgety Bay, was clocked at 100mph.
