A REPEAT offender has been banned from the roads after he was caught out in Hereford without a licence or insurance.
Ashley Jones was proven guilty of one count of driving without a licence and one of driving without valid third-party insurance by magistrates in Worcester in February.
The court heard from the prosecutor that the 23-year-old had been caught after getting behind the wheel of a Citroen Berlingo in Hereford's Wyedean Rise on July 26 last year.

He did not have a licence authorising him to drive a vehicle of that class and did not have a valid insurance policy in place, the court heard.
Jones, of Sherborne Close, Hereford, was fined £660, and received six penalty points.
He was also disqualified from driving for six months, with magistrates saying a ban was obligatory due to repeat offending, and ordered to pay prosecution costs of £90 and a £264 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
