Ronald Payot was driving illegally – he was a provisional licence holder and had no supervising driver with him – when he pulled out on to the A120 near Colchester and collided with another car. He pleaded guilty to driving unsupervised and driving without due car and attention.
Chairman of the bench James Addison said: “In reaching our decision we have taken into account your early guilty plea.”
He was fined £207, given six points on his licence, ordered to pay costs of £90 and a victim surcharge of £20. They stopped short of awarding him a full licence and an all-expenses paid holiday.
He should have been banned for a long time. As it is, he can just carry on driving.
