He was seen on November the second driving on Woodbourne Road, Douglas. Police stopped him at Woodbourne Square.

Officers spoke to Smith, who told him that he thought he had only been banned for six months, and he had been driving his employers vehicle since October.

His advocate said Smith genuinely believed that it was a six month ban which was imposed. Mr Moyle bailed him until January 16th
