Another driver faces jail - should not have been there

"Sheer stupidity" indeed - a spell inside will give him time to ponder.

"A MAN has been jailed after he was caught driving while disqualified for
the third time. Dean Regan, 23, of Nursery Lane, Ovenden, Halifax, was
jailed for 12 weeks at Calderdale Magistrates' Court after admitting driving
while disqualified and without insurance.
The court heard police officers spotted Regan driving at the junction of
Cousin Lane and Keighley Road in Illingworth on Monday September 28 and
recognised him as a banned driver. James Weekes, prosecuting, said they
followed the car but it sped away.

They later found it parked at Morrisons supermarket nearby and waited as
Regan returned with his girlfriend, who got into the driver's seat. The
court heard he had 24 previous convicions including two for driving while
disqualifed in 2004 and 2005.

Mark Baxendale, mitigating, said it was "sheer stupidity" that Regan had
driven his girlfriend's car the short distance from the Furness estate to
Morrisons at Illingworth. As well as jailing Regan for 12 weeks for his
"blatant disregard of court orders", they added eight points to his licence
for having no insurance
