Martin Black, defending, revealed that his Kane’s licence was already endorsed with six penalty points for two fixed penalty offences.
Apart from those, he claimed, his client had an otherwise unblemished driving record.
He said: “He finds himself on the first occasion in danger of losing his entitlement to drive.
“He’s employed by Northgate Vehicle Hire as asset co-ordinator. It may come as no surprise that the nature of his work takes him throughout the UK.”
He added: “His driving licence is a pre-requisite of him retaining his current employment.
“He was returning from one depot to another and clearly his speed reached an unacceptable level.”
Kane was fined £300 and had his licence endorsed with four penalty points.
Passing sentence, Sheriff Douglas Kinloch told him that 100mph on the motorway was “a very fast speed indeed”.
