Double driving ban for Colby man

A Colby man will serve a double driving ban after being convicted of two sets of crimes within three months.

Phillip Nyamande of The Level admitted having no tax or insurance and riding without a crash helmet when he appeared before magistrates this week.

The court heard the 23 year old had overtaken an off-duty police officer on Main Road in Colby just before midday on October 29.

He wasn’t wearing a helmet, and the officer took his registration number - Nyamande was tracked down a short time later.

Magistrates were told he’d been banned from the roads by Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes for six months last November.

They fined him £250, ordered him to pay £50 costs and imposed another driving ban for two months to run alongside his current disqualification.
