A SOUTHAMPTON man will be catching the bus for six months after refusing to tell police who was driving a car.

Michael Olan-George, 31, of Aldermoor Avenue, failed to give details about the driver of an 02-reg Chrysler Neon alleged to have been guilty of an offence.

Magistrates in Basingstoke convicted him in his absence on December 2 and on December 23 fined him £750 with a £75 victim surcharge and disqualified him from driving for six months because of his repeated offending.
