A motorist who ignored a driving ban is to be put under an electronic curfew.

Scott Barrington, 32, of Vine Street, Whelley, appeared before Wigan and Leigh justices to admit being at the wheel of a Vauxhall Insignia on Wallgate on November 18 while disqualified from the road and thus also not licensed to do so. He received another 18-month ban and will be subject to 12 weeks of electronic monitoring to ensure he stays at home between 7pm and 5am.

There was also £180 to pay in court costs and victim services surcharge.
