Banned for causing crash which killed two people
A Douglas man, who was given a seven-year prison sentence for killing a mother and daughter by driving dangerously, has pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified.
Fifty-year-old Shaun James William Webb, of Reginald Mews, is currently serving a 10-year ban after the high speed crash in 2006.
At Douglas Courthouse he told magistrates he did not understand he had to retake his test.
On 14 May this year Webb’s boss rang police to tell them he was driving home unaccompanied from work on a provisional licence.
Officers waited at his home and spotted him in his Renault Laguna – he’d applied for his licence in 2016 but hadn’t retaken his driving test.
He explained he’d been worried he was going to be late for work that morning and had driven to Port Erin and back.
Magistrates ordered him to carry out 60 hours of community service and pay prosecution costs of £50.
They also put six penalty points on his driving licence.
