Young driver jailed two years for driving without licence, insurance

Magistrate Francesco Depasquale jailed 21-year-old Josef Borg of Hamrun to two years in jail, handing down two separate one-year jail terms after finding him guilty of driving when his licence had been suspended, and without insurance cover.

Borg was charged twice for being caught driving in Marsa and in Dingli on two separate occasions last February and April.

In handing judgment, Magistrate Depasquale said that he was imposing a jail term given that Borg was a relapser and for having disobeyed police orders.

Borg was further disqualified for driving for the next two years.
