Co Tyrone motorist detected driving with no insurance in Dungannon handed six month ban
A Co Tyrone motorist detected driving with no insurance in Dungannon town centre earlier this year, has lost his licence for six months.
Forty-year-old Ismael Amaral Gomez from Drumcoo Gardens in Dungannon, was also fined £200 and ordered to pay a £15 offender's levy.
Gomez was fined a further £100 for having no driving licence on the same occasion.
The local Magistrates Court heard on Wednesday that on March 22 last police were on mobile patrol in Dungannon town centre when they stopped a car in the Scotch Street area.
Prosecuting counsel said checks were carried out on the police system that showed there was no insurance in place for the vehicle.
The lawyer said the defendant was also asked to produce his driving licence and produced a Timor licence.
A defence lawyer pointed out that Gomez has been living in Northern Ireland since 2021 and knew he needed an NI licence.
