Doherty banned over Daimler offence

ROCK star Pete Doherty has been given a 12-month driving ban and fined £500 after he admitted allowing his manager to use his Daimler without insurance.

A lawyer entered a guilty plea on Doherty's behalf before magistrates in Lowestoft, Suffolk.

Last month, his manager, Andrew Boyd, was jailed for a year after he ran into a pedestrian delivering newsletters, then drove off at speed in the Daimler.
