Peter Doherty banned from driving for 12 months

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

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

Last month singer Doherty’s manager Andrew Boyd was given a 12-month jail term after a court heard he ran into a pedestrian then drove off at speed in the Daimler.
