An electrician was caught flouting his driving ban just minutes after getting behind the wheel of his father's car.
Connor Poole was disqualified for 23 months in July last year after driving a vehicle whilst drunk. However, the 27-year-old appeared to show his contempt for the order when he decided to take his dad's Ford Focus for a spin late one evening last month, a court was told.
Uninsured Poole claimed he wanted to take the vehicle from his father's house to his own in order for his colleague and co-business owner to be able to use the following morning. Prosecutors said that, just moments after getting behind the wheel, Poole was stopped by police.
