Checks revealed that the vehicle was registered to White. When cautioned for permitting he said: “It’s my own car and she told me she was legal to drive.”
Mr Joe McDonald, representing the defendant, said White had been out with friends and had a few drinks.
He explained that they could not get a taxi and one of his friends said she would drive and he had assumed she was insured.
