A Watford man has been jailed after driving while disqualified and serving a suspended sentence for the same thing.
Jay Cardy was sent to prison for a 12 weeks and ordered to pay £154 after sentencing at Medway Magistrates’ Court on January 27.
The sentence includes eight weeks for the most recent offence and four from the suspended sentence.
He admitted driving a Peugeot Partner in Gillingham, Kent, on October 10 last year.
The court said the offence was "so serious" because the 29-year-old had already been given a suspended sentence for driving a Citroen Berlingo in Catherine Street, St Albans, on August 1, 2022, while disqualified.
