The court heard that on December 5 last year she was stopped at Carrigart and she said she didn’t have her licence to hand.

She was asked to produce her documents and a later check showed she had not produced her licence.

The defendant came to Lurgan police station and admitted that her insurance had expired prior to when she was stopped.

It also transpired that her licence had expired in 2014 and her test certificate in December 2016.

Mr Conor Downey, representing the defendant, said she was aware her licence had expired.

He added that she had made an application for a new licence but she knew she was going to be disqualified.
