Northamptonshire man cops 12-month driving ban over incident at track

A MotoGP fan has been banned from driving for a year after a stolen golf buggy riding around Silverstone injured a steward.

Daniel Clark, aged 30, admitted allowing himself to be carried on a vehicle which he knew had been taken without the owner’s consent at the motor racing circuit on August 7 — the day of the British MotoGP.

Documents from Northampton Magistrates’ Court confirmed Clark, of High Street, Welford, was ordered to carry out 100 hours unpaid work as part of a community order and ordered to pay £199 in prosecution costs and a surcharge to fund victim services.

The Theft Act also makes riding in a stolen vehicle punishable by a driving disqualification.
