Castledermot man gets two-year driving ban for no insurance offence
Convicted of no insurance and fined €300
A MOTORIST who failed to produce valid motor tax, insurance and a driving licence when stopped by gardaí has been disqualified from driving for two years.
Daniel Flood, who lives at Oakwood, Ballynacarrick Upper, Castledermot, Kildare, was convicted in his absence in Carlow District Court of the offences which occurred on 20 March near Baltinglass, Wicklow.
The court heard that Sergeant Duffy stopped a vehicle owned by Mr Flood who failed to display valid tax and insurance.
Mr Flood has one previous conviction for failure to display tax, for which he received a €200 fine in 2018 at Carlow District Court.
Judge Geraldine Carthy, noting that the 28-year-old defendant made no appearance in court, convicted him of no insurance and fined him €300. She also disqualified him from driving for two years.
Mr Flood was also convicted and fined €300 for failure to produce a valid driving licence and €300 for no tax, both to be paid within 90 days.
