A driver who 'never passed his test' has been sent to prison after repeatedly breaking court orders.

Adam Hodgetts, 41, of Conway, Tolladine, was given 24 weeks in prison due to his "flagrant disregard for court orders".

Hodgetts appeared before magistrates on October 31 charged with driving while disqualified, driving without insurance and committing an offence while on a suspended sentence for driving while disqualified in Bromsgrove on November 10 last year.

He pleaded guilty to the charges, which state that on September 19 this year, he drove a Mini in Worcester while disqualified, and without having any insurance.

The bench decided to activate Hodgetts' original 12 week suspended sentence, adding an additional 12 weeks due to his "flagrant disregard for court orders."

He was also fined £122 and banned from holding a license for four years.

Hodgetts previously appeared in court in February 2018, where he was convicted of drug driving after crashing his Nissan Note on the approach to the roundabout at the junction of Bath Road with Dace Road and St Peter's Drive.

He hit two road signs, stopping at the second.

The court heard at the time that he had never passed his driving test, and had only left the scene to get his dad to help recover the car because it wasn't drivable after the accident.
