The court found that Manley drove a vehicle on March 16 on Churchill Road without the correct licence which authorised him to ‘drive a motor vehicle of that class’.

The 36-year-old was fined £220.

Under the law, to drive a particular type of vehicle, you need an ‘entitlement’ for that category on your driving licence.

You do not need a driving licence for electric bikes, mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs.
