A MAN who committed a motoring offence and then tangled with an officer has been banned from driving.

Adam Wood, 28, of Spring Vale, Swanmore, drove a black Vauxhall Corsa in Forrest Close, Swanmore, on May 12 with no insurance.

Later he obstructed a PC, Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court heard.

Wood was given a community order for 120 hours unpaid work, was disqualified from driving for four months and ordered to pay a £60 victim surcharge.
