A CLYDEBANK man has been fined and told to do unpaid community work after he admitted three motoring offences in a series of local streets.

Steven Cairns, of Cleddans View, was sentenced on Friday after pleading guilty at an earlier hearing to using a motor vehicle without insurance, failing to display L-plates while only a provisional licence holder, and failing to provide details of the vehicle’s owner when required.

The offences took place in Birch Road in Parkhall, Duntreath Avenue in Drumchapel, Onslow Road in Drumry, and Kilbowie Retail Park in Clydebank itself on June 27, 2017.

Cairns originally faced a further accusation of having driven a motor vehicle which he knew to have been taken without its owner’s consent, but his plea of not guilty was accepted by the Crown.

At Dumbarton Sheriff Court, Sheriff Maxwell Hendry told Cairns: “Your record is not to your credit, although these are not the most serious offences on it.”

Cairns was fined a total of £300, told to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work and had six penalty points put on his licence.
