The court heard how Roddy was stopped in the vicinity of Annaghone Road and Coagh Road in a Skoda car.

He told police that he had held a licence for thirty years but refused to tell the constables with which company he held a policy of insurance.

Adjourning the case for pre-sentence report on February 1st, District Judge John Meehan noted that the guilty plea was the defendant’s tenth conviction for not having car insurance.
