The court heard that he was stopped at 9.45am on the Eastway and indicated that he did have insurance.
However, at a later date he admitted he was not covered on the day in question.
A barrister representing the defendant said the insurance had been cancelled because of a missed direct debit payment.
He added that his client understood there was a procedure where he would be given a chance to pay but would say he was not informed.
