A BMW driver was caught out in a Hereford street after getting behind the wheel without a licence or insurance.

Jamie Goodfield entered a guilty plea to one count of driving a motor vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a licence and one count of using a motor vehicle on a road or public place without third party insurance to magistrates in Worcester.

The court heard from the prosecutor that the 45-year-old had been caught out in Hereford's Whittern Way after getting behind the wheel of a BMW on May 26.
