pregnant had another weight on his mind this week -- a $1,200 fine and an 18-month driving ban.

Jason Matthew, 20, of Cherry Hill Park, Paget, pleaded with Police to be lenient after they stopped him for speeding, Magistrates' Court heard.

He told them of his woes, and that his girlfriend was pregnant, said Insp.

Peter Duffy, prosecuting.

Yesterday Matthew admitted riding at 66 kph on South Road, Warwick, and driving while disqualified.

He also admitted making a false statement by giving Police incorrect personal details, and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
