A waste collector who yesterday pleaded guilty to driving recklessly without a licence or insurance, has been jailed for two years and three months.

Giuseppe Zahra, 49, had his driving licence suspended twice in the past year was arraigned yesterday after he crashed into another car in Żejtun last Wednesday, slightly injuring the driver.

Last May, Mr Zahra was fined €3,000 and had his driving licence suspended for a year after he admitted to attacking a policeman. Even then, when he was stopped, Mr Zahra had been driving without a licence because a court had suspended it for one year in May 2008.
