A MOTORIST caught behind the wheel without a driving licence and insurance has been banned from driving for 18-months.
Magistrates in Darlington also ordered 30-year-old Carl Wayman to pay £130 in court charges after he pleaded guilty to driving without a licence and insurance on the A68 in Darlington on July 8.
Wayman, of Joseph Patterson Crescent, Ferryhill, said he had been taking his fiancée’s father to hospital because he seemed very ill and was later found to be suffering from jaundice and pancreatitis.
