A LUDLOW driver caught out on the roads without insurance has been fined hundreds of pounds by magistrates.

Andrew Phillip Jones was proven guilty of one count of using a motor vehicle on a road or public place without third-party insurance by magistrates in Worcester in October.

The court heard from the prosecutor that the 38-year-old had been caught out on the A49 at Leominster in Herefordshire after getting behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Polo on April 21.

Checks revealed that he did not have a valid insurance policy covering him to drive that car in place at the time.

Jones, of Corve View, Culmington, Ludlow, was fined £660 and received six penalty points on his licence for the offence.

He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £90 and a £264 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
