A 20 year old Newent man who drove a Jaguar without insurance or a valid licence has been ordered to pay £1,014 in fines, costs and surcharges.

Magistrates at Cheltenham also endorsed six penalty points on Ionut Pavel’s licence.

The court found that Pavel, of Russett Way, Newent, had driven a Jaguar X on the slip road at Over Causeway, between the A417 and A40 without licence or third party insurance on October 23 last year.
