The defending solicitor said Charzynski was a named driver on his brother's insurance and did not realise it had lapsed. Insurance, he said, was back in place by October 24.

Charzynski, he added, is a lorry driver and his licence is important to him. District Judge Alan White said he accepted there had been confusion and imposed six penalty points and a 150 fine.
