A cancer patient has told a court that he was speeding because radiation treatment had left him needing to go to the toilet.
William MacKenzie admitted to driving at 102mph in a 70mph zone on the A9 Inverness to Perth road on 24 March.
He told the court: "To be honest, I was needing the toilet."
Sheriff Scott-Mackenzie told the accused, from Inverness, that he could have driven away from the A9 and found himself a bush to relieve himself if he had been that desperate.
He imposed a lesser sentence than normal of a three-month driving ban and a £100 fine.
