A TEENAGE yob dubbed the real Vicky Pollard has been hauled back to court for riding a motorbike without a helmet - two weeks after she was banned from driving.

Kerry McLaughlin, who has been likened to Little Britain's teenage chav, has already been banned from her home under a court injunction.

The 19-year-old tearaway made life hell for neighbours, who logged more than 100 complaints against her.

Now she has admitted racing along her former street in Battle Hill, Wallsend, North Tyneside, on a child's motorbike with no insurance - only a fortnight after being banned for six months for driving without insurance.

Derek Walden, prosecuting at North Tyneside Magistrates' Court, said: "She had been disqualified in January, and on February 5, at 2pm, she was seen riding a small motorbike in Belsay Close.

"The police were called and arrested her. She accepted she had no licence or insurance for the vehicle and that she was not wearing a helmet. She was bailed to North Shields police station, but failed to respond."

McLaughlin pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified, having no insurance, not wearing a helmet and absconding.

The probation service told the court she had expressed some reluctance to do unpaid work as part of her punishment, but was told the alternative was prison.

For driving while disqualified and absconding, she was handed a community punishment and rehabilitation order, meaning she has to do 60 hours' unpaid work and complete a year of rehabilitation. She was also banned from driving for 12 months. There was no separate penalty for the charges of having no insurance and no helmet.

Neil Cheesebrough, mitigating, said: "This is her first offence of driving while disqualified."
