Checked by the gendarmes in Dampierre on April 16, then in Fraisans on April 26, the 45-year-old defendant was tried for several offenses at the Dole local court on Friday, November 8.
Slick tires, lack of insurance, using a vehicle while immobilized and driving without a license. “I had to go pick up my 16-year-old daughter in Grandfontaine (Doubs)” justifies the defendant who had borrowed a friend's vehicle.
8 months of imprisonment including 4 with a probationary suspension
“Driving without a license is recurring for you, out of eleven mentions in your criminal record you were convicted six times between 2013 and 2016 for these facts” indicates the president of the court.
In fact, he never took a driving test. In court, the defendant explains that he enrolled in a driving school 20 years ago, but he did not complete it for financial reasons.
At 45, the defendant will be forced to take lessons. Following the prosecutor's requisitions, the court sentenced him to 8 months of imprisonment, including four with a probationary suspension, and the obligation to pass the driving license tests. He was sentenced to a fine of 300 euros for the lack of insurance and two fines of 90 euros each.
