Provisional licence holder Jaroslav Sarisky drove along the M5 in September last year.

The 41-year-old, of Trinity Street, Brierley Hill, was caught at the wheel of a Nisssan Qashqai at Falfield in Gloucestershire on the northbound carriageway of the motorway.

At Bath Magistrates Court on Tuesday, Sarisky was fined £220 and ordered to pay £90 costs and an £88 surcharge.

He was also disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence for six months, with the court noting that the ban was "obligatory due to repeat offending".

His driving record was also endorsed with three penalty points.
