A man who appeared at Derry Magistrate's Court today charged with driving while disqualified and without insurance has been told if he continues to offend in this way he will go to prison 'for longer and longer'.
Matthew Curry (39) of Clon Elagh in Derry admitted driving while disqualified and without insurance on October 31 this year.
The court heard that police were on patrol in the Cornshell Fields area and observed a vehicle travelling towards them before turning away at speed.
The driver was identified and known to be a disqualified driver.
Defence solicitor Michael Donaghey said his client had a bad record for this type of offence and recently 'the patience of the court had run out' and Curry was currently serving a sentence.
He was sentenced to one month in custody consecutive with the sentence he is already serving.
