A Coventry driver was fined after being caught without insurance on a busy Bury road.
Mohammed Torfiti, 21, of Queen Mary's Road, Coventry, admitted to driving a white BMW 320D on Walmersley Road, Bury, while uninsured, after he was stopped on November 4.
He pleaded guilty at Manchester Magistrates' Court the following day.
The court fined Torfiti £150 and endorsed his licence with eight penalty points.
He also admitted driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence.
No separate penalty was imposed for that offence.
A further allegation of fraud was withdrawn.
Court records show Torfiti had originally been accused of fraud by false representation, alleging he had used a driving licence belonging to another person in order to drive a vehicle.
