Man caught flouting driving ban on A47 during milk trip, King's Lynn court told

A Narborough man with a history of driving while disqualified has been told he could be jailed for his latest offence.

David Large, 48, was spotted by police on the A47 in Swaffham as he drove to get milk, magistrates in Lynn were told on Thursday.

He pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified and having no insurance during the incident on November 7, 2020.

By committing the offence, Large, of Dennys Walk, accepted that he was in breach of a suspended sentence order imposed in February 2019 for the same offence.

On that occasion he was banned from driving for 51 months.

Prosecutor Denise Holland said: “He does have a number of matters for driving while disqualified is the politest way I can put it.”

Charlotte Winchester, mitigating, said the Ford Focus which Large was driving was a vehicle he had been working on for his teenaged son.

“He made the impulsive decision to go on a short drive to get some milk as there was nobody else to get it,” she added.

“He has said to me that he was stupid and ‘I’m sorry and I’m a fool.’”

The bench ordered a response to supervision report and adjourned the case to February 11.

Large, who remains disqualified from driving to May 2023, was granted unconditional bail.
