A driver police described as a “menace” joked about having 59 points on his licence as police caught him behind the wheel while already disqualified.
Bodycam video shows Iain Ashmore, 45, of Fuchsia Way, Witham St Hughes, telling Lincolnshire police he is “fed up” of being pulled over by officers, accusing them of “targeting” him. When asked how he has been allowed to keep a licence whilst having so many points, he jokes that he is a “very good person.”
Ashmore appeared at court charged with three offences of driving while disqualified, three offences of driving without any insurance and one offence of driving while using a mobile phone. He pleaded guilty to all offences on 24 July and was sentenced to eight weeks’ imprisonment suspended for 12 months. He was also disqualified for a further 12 months and must pay costs and a surcharge.
