THREE people have been sentenced by the courts in closed-doors hearings over using motor vehicles without insurance.

The cases were all dealt with at Weymouth Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, April 19.

None of the offenders were presents at court, but given the nature of the offences the cases could be dealt without them attending.

The details of these three offences is as follows.

He was fined £120 and ordered to pay £34 surcharge and £110 costs. His driving record was endorsed with six points.
