A driver has been banned from the roads again after he got behind the wheel of an unsafe car with a toddler in the back. 

Zamir Hushi, 35, was given a 12-month ban after he was caught driving while disqualified on Brownhill Way, Southampton. 

He was driving an Audi A3 with worn down tyre tread when police pulled him over. 

Officers found a child under the age of three sitting in the rear seat without a seat belt on.
