A defence barrister said there is also a not guilty plea to possession of diazepam as the defendant has a "prescription".

The lawyer says the defendant says he was not driving. He said the defendant is going to get an "expert" to assess the number plates as the defendant "feels they are legitimate".

The case was mentioned at Antrim Magistrates' Court, sitting in Ballymena. The case was adjourned to April 1 to fix a date for a contest.
