The court heard from the prosecutor that the 48-year-old had been caught out on the A417 near Dinmore in Herefordshire after getting behind the wheel of a Mercedes E270 on September 7 without a valid third party insurance policy in place.
Garrett, of Laystone Green, Marden, was fined £660 and disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence for six months, with magistrates saying a roads ban was obligatory due to repeat offending.
He was also handed six penalty points and ordered to pay prosecution costs of £90 and a £264 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
