Motorist gets six-month ban
A motorist was fined a total of £375 with a £15 offender levy and banned from driving for six months at Magherafelt Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
Valerijs Naglis (40) from Leckagh Drive, Magherafelt, admitted having no insurance and no driving licence on July 18 last.
The court was told that police were on mobile patrol at Meeting Street when they observed a Mercedes car being driven by the defendant.
A PPS lawyer said checks showed there was no insurance for the vehicle and on being stopped at Rainey Street car park, the defendant admitted having no licence.
Naglis, who was not professionally represented, admitted the offences.
Imposing the penalties, Deputy District Judge Noel Dunlop told the defendant that this was his second offence for no insurance.
