Both of them were fined £200, ordered to pay a £15 offender’s levy and given six points.

The offences came to light when Toman was stopped while driving in William Street, Lurgan.

Miss Siun Dowey, representing the defendants, said Toman had taken the car to drive a friend home.

The solicitor said Toman wasn’t aware he was not insured until he was stopped by the police.
