A teenage Caol painter and decorator was fined a total of £400 and banned from the roads for six months after admitting motoring oftences at Fort William Sheriff Court. Liam MacKinnon, 19, of Fern Court, Caol, appeared before Sheriff Eilidh MacDonald at the court this week.
MacKinnon had pleaded guilty that on November 30 last year, at West End car park in Fort William, he had driven a car without the owner’s consent and without insurance, and that he had driven another car without insurance on November 24 of last year on the road between Aonach Mor and Nevis Range.
MacKinnon’s pleas of not guilty to charges of taking a car without the owner’s consent at Camanachd Crescent, Fort William, on November 30 and driving that car without insurance or a test certificate; and driving a car without insurance or a test certificate in Camanachd Crescent on November 29, were accepted by the Crown. Procurator fiscal Robert Weir told the court that at about 10.30pm on the night of November 24, police on patrol had stopped MacKinnon’s vehicle.
