Man caught driving without a proper licence, fined

A man caught driving without a proper licence has been fined.

Bernard Mensah of Wesley Terrace in Douglas appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

The 30 year old admitted a single count of not having a driving licence on Shore Road in Gansey on September 22 last year.

Prosecutor Rebecca Cubbon told the hearing Mensah was stopped by police at around 3.15pm and only had a provisional licence.

Magistrates fined him £200 and imposed two penalty points on his licence as well as ordering him to pay £50 costs.
