Leigh motorist spared immediate jail term for twice ignoring his ban from the road
A Wigan borough motorist has been given a suspended prison sentence for twice flouting a driving ban.
Shaun Hughes, 41, of Richmond Drive, Leigh, appeared before Wigan magistrates to plead guilty to being at the wheel of an HGV in the Heath Charnock area of Chorley on March 31 and a Ford KA on Queensway in Leigh on July 12.
He also pleaded guilty to not being insured to drive on both of those occasions. The bench gave him a total of eight weeks in prison but suspended the term for 18 months.
Hughes was also further disqualified from the road for 12 months, ordered to complete 25 days of rehabilitation activities and must pay £207 in costs and a victim services surcharge.
