The following were heard at North Yorkshire Magistrates’ Court on October 15:

Darren Atkinson, 39, of Station View, Harrogate, was fined £450 and had six points added to his licence for driving without insurance, but there was no disqualification under the totting-up procedure due to mitigating circumstances.

He was driving a Ford Transit van when the offence was detected on the A658 in Harrogate on December 13, 2023.
