BIKER Neil Loten, who was banned from the roads after being clocked at 125mph, lied so he could get motor insurance less than a fortnight later, a court was told.
And within four months, Loten, 39, was spotted at the wheel of a van on the Harrogate and Knaresborough southern bypass, within a few hundred yards of the scene of his earlier brush with police.
Loten of Bilton Grove Farm, Hillfoot Lane, Pannal, Harrogate, pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified and without insurance on April 10.
He also admitted a deception offence at Bedale, on December 17, by not telling NFU Mutual that he was disqualified from driving. He also pleaded guilty to failing to answer bail.
Chairman of Harrogate magistrates, Brian Pattyson, called for a probation report to be compiled and bailed him until May 23.
Loten, who had been banned for 18 months for dangerous driving, was told all sentencing options would be considered.
