A RESTRICTED teen driver has been fined after he was caught speeding at 77mph in Enniskillen, a court has heard.

On Monday, 19-year-old Danny Maguire from Callagheen Road pleaded guilty to speeding at Enniskillen Magistrates Court.

On October 8, a mobile speed detection unit recorded Maguire driving at 77mph on the Belfast Road in Enniskillen, 32mph over the restricted driver limit of 45mph. A defence solicitor told the court that the 19-year-old had recently gained employment and was travelling there on the day in question.
