Malmesbury student Charles Puddick may lose his licence after admitting driving without insurance.
Puddick, 18, of Tetbury Road, drove his mother’s Subaru Justify on the Fosseway and told the court he did not realise it was a road he needed insurance to drive on.
He appeared at North West Wiltshire Magistrates’ Court on Monday, where he pleaded guilty to the charge. The court heard Puddick, who was defending himself, had gone up to the Fosseway to walk the family’s dogs with his mother, on October 9 last year. He returned to the car but, when his mother did not, he tried to call her and drove up the Fosseway to find a phone signal.
Magistrate Jennifer Swift endorsed his licence with six penalty points, meaning the DVLA will seek to revoke it. He was also ordered to pay £120 in costs and fines.
