Driver convicted in his absence gets court ultimatum - turn up next time or be banned
A Telford man will be banned from driving if he doesn't turn up at court in December after he was found guilty in his absence of two six-point offences.
Telford Magistrates Court decided to go ahead with the case against James Rogers, aged 46, of Derwent Drive, Priorslee, after hearing that he had been sent notices of Friday's hearing in advance but was not in court.
Rogers had at an earlier stage pleaded not guilty to two counts of failing to identify the driver of a BMW who was alleged to have been guilty of two speeding offences, one in Worcester and another on the M5.
