Royston Smith
SOUTHAMPTON'S council leader has been fined by police for driving without insurance.
Cllr Royston Smith was pulled over by a traffic officer as he drove through the city for not wearing a seatbelt.
But a check revealed his Jaguar was uninsured.
Cllr Smith accepted a £60 fixed penalty notice for the seatbelt offence and another for £200 for driving without insurance together with six penalty points to be added to his otherwise clean driving licence.
He later said an oversight over a card payment had left him in an "embarrassing situation".
But to add to the top Tory's woes, his humiliating predicament was caught on camera by a passing council worker.
