A SELKIRK teenager caught driving twice within six weeks without insurance has been banned from the road.
Marcus Sinclair of Muthag Street, pleaded guilty to the offences which happened on the A707 Selkirk to Yair road on July 5 and on the A7 in Galashiels on August 24.
The 18-year-old also admitted having no licence on both occasions.
Procurator fiscal Graham Fraser said it was a matter of concern that on both occasions he had passengers in the vehicle putting them at risk as well as himself and the general public.
Selkirk Sheriff Court was told that Sinclair had crashed his vehicle just outside Galashiels for the August offence.
After hearing he was affected by other issues Sheriff Eric Brown deferred sentence until January 14 for the production of a Criminal Justice Social Work Report.
The Sheriff imposed an interim disqualification from driving for the time being.
