A student has been fined £690 for three motoring offences.

Harry Robert Warrillier-Grant admitted failing to produce insurance and a driving licence as well as having a defective tyre.

Charges of having no driving licence and having no insurance were withdrawn.

Prosecuting advocate Rebecca Cubbon told the court that police stopped the 21-year-old on August 15 at 11.10pm at the Grandstand.

The tred on one of the tyres on his Audi A3 was found to be below the legal limit and he was given five days to produce his driving documents.

However, he failed to do so and was subsequently charged.

The court heard that he holds a clean licence after finishing a ban.

Defence advocate Ian Kermode said: ’Mr Warrillier-Grant was not knowingly driving with the tyre in that condition, he just hadn’t checked that was the case.

’With regards to the other matters, he had valid insurance and his driving licence was returned to him in February but he forgot to go to police headquarters with the documents.’

Mr Kermode asked for credit to be given for his client’s guilty plea and said that Warrillier-Grant, who lives in Governor’s Hill, Douglas, had enrolled in college to study music.

Deputy High Bailiff Chris Arrowsmith fined him £430 for the defective tyre, £130 for failing to produce insurance, and £130 for failing to produce a driving licence.

He must also pay £50 prosecution costs.

He will pay at a rate of £10 per week.
