A Birmingham man was convicted of failing to name a speeding driver, and a Whitehaven man of driving uninsured and unlicensed.
Faiyaz Qazi, 41, of Over Mill Drive, Selly Park, Birmingham, was found guilty at Carlisle Magistrates' Court on 14 October of failing to identify a driver to police. He faced a charge of failing to provide information about the driver of a Vauxhall vehicle alleged to have committed a speeding offence in Cumbria. Cumbria Constabulary required Qazi to identify the driver after the vehicle was detected exceeding the 30mph speed limit on the A6 Milnthorpe Road, Kendal, on 1 December 2025.
Qazi pleaded not guilty but was found guilty following a hearing. He appeared unrepresented at court. He was fined £120, ordered to pay £350 in costs to the Crown Prosecution Service, and a £48 victim surcharge. Six penalty points were added to his driving record, with the court ordering that payments be made by monthly benefit deductions.
Ronald Falkner, of Bransty, Whitehaven, admitted two offences at Carlisle Magistrates' Court on 15 October. He drove a Fiat Grande Punto on George Street, Whitehaven, on 26 March without a policy meeting legal requirements and without a licence authorising him to drive that class of vehicle. His driving record was endorsed with eight penalty points for the insurance offence; the licence offence carried no separate penalty.
Falkner was fined £300 and ordered to pay £130 in costs and a £120 surcharge. A collection order was made with payments set at £40 a month, starting on 15 November.
