Mooroopna man fined for driving while disqualified

The court heard when Buttenshaw was approached by police he denied driving the vehicle; however, police obtained CCTV footage and as a result impounded the car.

Defence solicitor Nikhil Sood said Buttenshaw instructed it was an error in judgment and he was remorseful.

Buttenshaw had received a good behaviour bond in May 2019 for drug driving, speeding, unlicensed driving and driving while disqualified.

Magistrate Peter Dunn convicted Buttenshaw and fined him $1000 for driving while disqualified and $2500 for breaching the good behaviour bond.
