The court heard Aoued drove a mechanically propelled vehicle without lawful authority on a footpath.
This is in contravention of section 34(1)(b) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and Schedule 2 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988.
His guilty plea was taken into account by the court during sentencing, which also imposed a collection order to ensure payments are made as directed.
