Mullaghbawn man fined
Offence as a result of driving transit van and not insured vehicle to work
FINES an penalty points have been handed down in the case of a Mullaghbawn man who before Newry magistrates entered a guilty plea to a count of no insurance.
Facing the charge was Malachy Dane Hayes (38) of Conway Park Mullaghbawn.
The court heard how on September 17 police had their attention drawn to a Ford Transit van that had pulled out of the A1 slip road Camlough.
The transit van then stopped at the Millvale Service Station. The driver of the van identified himself as the defendant Hayes. Checks on the vehicle showed he was not insured to drive the car in question.
Addressing the court a defence solicitor explained how Haye's detection on September 17 had been the result of him opting to drive the transit van to work rather travelling in another car which he was insured on.
Disposing of the case District Judge O'Hare would impose upon Hayes a fine of £350 whilst endorsing six penalty points on his licence
