A BIKER in his early 20s has been banned from the roads for six months.

Nikolas Ferreira, of Herbert Avenue in Poole, was convicted of riding a Honda motorbike in Ringwood Road on June 29 without appropriate insurance.

The 23-year-old was fined £100 and ordered to pay a £30 surcharge and £85 costs.

He was also disqualified from driving due to 'repeat offending', magistrates at the Poole court said.

In addition, Ferreira's licence was endorsed with six points.
