ROCK star Pete Doherty was today fined �500 and given a 12-month driving ban at Lowestoft Magistrates' Court for allowing the use of a car without insurance.
Doherty, who turns 31 tomorrow, did not attend court and was represented by his solicitor, who entered a guilty plea on his behalf.
The former Libertines singer and Babyshambles front man was fined �500 for the offence and �100 court costs. His licence was endorsed and he was disqualified from driving for one year.
The charge relates to a collision in Hadleigh, Suffolk last September in which a man was left fighting for his life after being knocked down by Doherty's manager, Andrew Boyd.

He was disqualified for three years and jailed for one year at Ipswich Crown Court in February.
