Kyle Johnson was banned for two months by magistrates

Kyle Johnson, 19, was fined �200, told to pay �50 costs and disqualified for two months by Cardiff magistrates.

He was convicted in his absence in August of driving without insurance and failing to produce a driving licence.

Johnson, of Cardiff, who has not passed his test, was stopped behind the wheel of a car borrowed from a friend.

Magistrates were told that last January Pc Andy Williams stopped Johnson as he drove along Cambria Road, Ely, Cardiff, in a Citro�n Saxo.

Lisa Bennett, prosecuting, said: "Pc Williams stopped a vehicle at 9.30pm. Johnson was asked to produce documents but failed to do so."

The court heard that Johnson, who had recently returned from a holiday with Ms Church, earns about �80-a-week as a part-time events organiser for the Copthorne Hotel in Cardiff.

Unpaid fines

His solicitor Mike Jones told the court that his client had a disposable income of around �20 per month.

He said: "He has been trained for a further position which means he would need to be mobile.

"He intends to take driving lessons and obtain a full licence. If he was disqualified that would preclude the opportunity for a new job."

Johnson, of Ely, was also told to pay an extra �65 unpaid fines from previous appearances.

He was told to pay off the total of �315 at the rate of �40-a-month.

Magistrates' chairwoman Sian Davies told him: "If you fail to pay you could be brought back before the court and be fined or be given a prison term."
