A MOTORIST caught on the road with no insurance has been banned from driving ‘due to repeat offending’.

Charles Welsh, of Chelford Road, Alderley Edge, pleaded guilty at Chester Magistrates Court on January 30 to driving without third party insurance.

The 21-year-old was found driving an Audi on Congleton Road at Nether Alderley on September 18, last year, without a valid insurance policy.

Welsh was disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence for six months ‘due to repeat offending’, the court heard.

The defendant was also fined £180 and ordered to pay £110 costs and £48 victim surcharge.

Magistrates took his guilty plea into account when imposing the sentence.

Welsh was given permission to pay the £338 court penalty at a rate of £55 per month starting on February 27.
