They stopped the car in the Drumbeg estate and spoke to the defendant.
Jackson admitted he did not have insurance and he was the holder of a provisional licence. The passenger in the car was not a qualified driver.
A barrister said the car had been purchased or the defendant’s partner to drive.

The barrister said it was his intention to get the car insured so that his partner could drive it.
