A MOTORIST who pleaded guilty to driving without insurance was spared a disqualification when he appeared before Carlow District Court recently. Adeval de Invencao Souza, 1 River Crescent, Carlow pleaded guilty to not having insurance when he was stopped by gardaí on Kennedy Avenue, Carlow on 25 April 2024.
Solicitor Alex Rafter told the court that his client, a Brazilian native, had just bought the car prior to being stopped and that he was now fully insured with a full licence. He added that Mr Souza (32) had also just become a father for the second time and so needed his car.
Judge Geraldine Carthy fined Mr Souza €300.
