Dean Birch was stopped while driving a Vauxhall Astra on King's Mill Road East, on May 8.

Birch, 32, of Brookdale Road, Sutton, pleaded guilty to driving without a licence or insurance, when he appeared at Nottingham Magistrates Court, on November 9.

An eight-week prison sentence, suspended for 24 months, was imposed because the offence was "so serious."
