Drivers banned from the roads among latest Nottingham Magistrates’ Court cases

An uninsured motorist has been ordered to pay more than £1,000 — and banned from the roads due to his repeat offending.

Adam Hutton, 30, of Beck Gardens, Grantham, was sentenced at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on February 26, for the offence, which took place on Sleaford Road, Coddington, on May 18, 2024.

The Ford driver was found guilty on September 27, 2024.

He was fined £660, ordered to pay costs of £374, and was disqualified from holding a driving licence for six months — which the court heard was necessary due to Hutton’s repeat offending.

Also sentenced on the same day was Anna Bianca Spick, 32, of Labray Road, Calverton, who had 18 points added to her licence but avoided disqualification.

Spick on three occasions, in September and October 2024, failed to give police information relating to the driver of a Land Rover alledged to be guilty of an offence.

All three instances were proved on November 28, 2024, and for each she was fined £180 and handed six penalty points. She was additionally ordered to pay costs of £316, for a total of £856 across all the offences.

Spick avoided disqualification as the court found exceptional hardship as she would be unable to take her children to school and partner to work.

On February 28, Serena Bushell, 41, of Meadow Close, Aslockton, appeared before Magistrates.

She pleaded not guilty to failing to give police information relating to the identification of a driver of a Land Rover alledged to be guilty of an offence on February 28, 2024 .

Bushell was found guilty, and was fined £180, ordered to pay costs of £72, and had six points added to her licence.

Speeding Mercedes driver Lewis Gourlay, 27, of Eldon Street, Tuxford, was sentenced on March 4.

He was proved, on October 24, 2024, to have exceeded the 30mph speed limit on North Road, Retford, on April 11, 2024.

Gourlay was fined £300, ordered to pay costs of £230, and had three points added to his licence.

He was also disqualified from driving for six months due to repeat offending.

Another speeding driver avoided disqualification, when she was sentenced on March 10.

Lindsey Anne Errol, 44, of Ferndale Close, Boughton, drove at 35mph on the 30mph limited A6075 Ollerton Road, Edwinstowe, on May 31, 2024.

The offfence was proven on December 5, 2024. The Peugeot driver was fined £192, ordered to pay costs of £187, and had three points added to her licence.

Errol avoided a totting disqualification as it would cause the loss of her job as a HGV driver and impact family members she cares for.

Lee Frost, 51, of Welland Close, Newark, appeared before Magistrates’ on March 11.

He was fined £300 for breaching a domestic violence protection order made against him, which he admitted.
