The court heard that the offences came to light when the defendant was driving in Charles Street, Lurgan.

He had valid insurance for another vehicle but not for another vehicle which he owned.

McCrory, who pleaded guilty himself in court, said that he was covered for his own car.

He had explained he had bought the car for his girlfriend and was insured for her but was registered in his name.
