Kim Hughes entered a guilty plea to one count of using a motor vehicle on a road or public place without insurance and one count of driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence to the court

The court heard from the prosecutor that 36-year-old Butcher had allowed 26-year-old Hughes to drive a Ford Focus on the B4368 at Craven Arms in Shropshire without a valid third-party insurance policy in place on February 24.
