He said his client had been speeding up to overtake another vehicle when he came to the attention of police.
The solicitor, who handed in a reference for Gajdzinski to the court from his employer, added that his client had been a professional driver before he came to Northern Ireland.
District Judge, Desmond Perry told Gajdzinski: “This was a ridiculous speed to drive at”.
