He tried unsuccessfully to find a friend to accompany him and "made a hasty decision" to drive unsupervised because he was "desperate" and "stressed", he said.
He told the court he had been offered the speed awareness course by the police after an earlier incident in which he had broken a 30mph speed limit.
Presiding magistrate Wendy Bomberg warned Klejnglas he was not safe to be on the road.
Klejnglas was fined £115, banned from driving for two months and ordered to pay £40 costs and a Government-imposed £15 victims' surcharge.

“Must say FHall your first post was right on and your second not bad either but then you spoilt it with the last line of your second post, also you spelt gordonios name wrong.”

“We should deport any immigrant who breaks the law more than once or (slightly off topic) who doesn't want to pay tax, national insurance or as we see more often drives not in accordance with the law or is uninsured.
I am all for immigration for law abiding hard working people. Our country is built on it but we need better and harsher ground rules and one of those is a basic understanding of how WE have to live and the laws WE have to live by.
Gordinio, I appreciate your support BUT I think you will find I talk more sense than most on here.”

“Mr Hall, for once I'm not pulling you down about your post, in fact I've given you a thumbs up.
One of the daftest excuses I've ever come across for speeding was a ENT (ear, nose and throat) specialist who claimed he was over the speed limit as he was going to help a man who had cut his own throat!”
