A driver who discovered he was not insured when he was stopped by police for using his mobile phone behind the wheel has been disqualified from driving for two months.
Kenneth Paul McPherson, 37, of 69 Meadows Avenue, Campbeltown, appeared before Margaret McDowall at Campbeltown’s Justice of the Peace Court and pleaded guilty to using a vehicle with no insurance policy in place and another of driving while using a hand-held mobile phone, at 6.45pm on Kinloch Road, Campbeltown, on March 24 this year.
After he was stopped by police officers, checks revealed that although he thought he was insured, the policy was invalid.
