West Mercia Police officers on patrol in Donnington on January 28 had spotted McDonald's Mercedes in The Parade and on completing checks found that it had no insurance. The six-month ban was imposed because McDonald had totted up 12 penalty points, prosecutor Mr Brandon Cole told Telford Magistrates Court in a hearing on Wednesday. It is due to expire next month.
Defending solicitor Clare Stephens told magistrates:"He simply wasn't aware of the disqualification. He never received any correspondence... at any address he held."
