Our client was a student from the Middle East who was charged with three fail to nominate driving offences. As these were his first offences, we requested the Magistrate deal with all of them by way of no conviction. The Magistrate agreed in part, recording no conviction for the first two offences, but regarding the third offence, the Magistrate decided that our client should have been familiar enough with the road laws to avoid offending by that stage and imposed a conviction and a fine.
