Melvyn Palmer, 61, was given a 56-day disqualification by Cannock Magistrates' Court on Tuesday after he admitted speeding.
The court was told that an officer with a laser speed measuring device clocked the 61-year-old driving along the A53 at 102mph, more than 40mph over the 60mph limit.
An officer had set up along the road, between Loggerheads and the border with Shropshire at Shifford's Bridge, on July 13 last year.
