The court was told the defendant was stopped by police at Cookstown Road, Moneymore, on April 28.

Admitting the offence defence lawyer Blaine Nugent said the defendant has two previous convictions for having no insurance.

He explained that on this occasion the defendant’s former partner had cancelled the insurance policy without telling her.

Mr Nugent said at the time the defendant believed she was still insured.
