He later told police there had been an administration error with the insurance company.
A solicitor representing the defendant said Murphy had taken out a new insurance policy and paid for it.
However, he added, there was an issue with the no claims bonus which did not get to the insurance company so they cancelled the policy.
He said that when he was stopped the defendant believed he had an effective insurance policy.
