A ROWNHAMS resident has been banned for driving with no insurance.

James Daniel Mills, 22, of Hann Road, was caught on Shirley High Street in Southampton in a 58-reg Peugeot on October 20 last year, a court was told.

Mills was not present at Basingstoke Magistrates Court but admitted the charge under the single justice procedure.

The magistrates fined him £120 with a £34 victim surcharge and £90 costs.

The ban will last six months and was triggered because of repeat offending.
