He pleaded guilty to all three counts at Worcester Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, March 8.
It was deemed by the magistrates that the loss of his driving licence will cause the loss of his job.
This would have caused exceptional financial hardship to his wife and young children who rely upon his ability to finance the mortgage of the house they reside in and to also afford private school education.
