A MAN was caught driving while disqualified, a court heard.

Omar Amin, a 19-year-old Kurdish-speaking Iraqi asylum seeker, of Wolsey Street, Radcliffe, admitted driving in Bury Road, Radcliffe, while disqualified and without insurance. Bury magistrates adjourned the case for pre-sentence reports until May 4.

Amin has been in Britain for two years and is still awaiting a decision from the Home Office on his status, the court heard.

He was stopped by police because he appeared to be driving at speed.
