Motorhome man was two years late with tax

A Peel man has been fined after he was caught with an out of date tax disc.

Police stopped 65-year-old Walter Saunders, of Ramsey Road, in Douglas on May 19th. 

The tax disc on his Mercedes motorhome was almost two years out of date. 

Saunders admitted the offence via Coroner's Admission at Douglas Courthouse on Thursday.

In mitigation sent to the court he said it was an "administrative oversight" as he only used the vehicle occasionally in the TT Paddock.

Magistrates fined him £150 and ordered him to pay £50 in prosecution costs.
