Magistrates banned a driver for only two weeks so she could serve in the Army in Iraq.

Danielle Blagdon, 18, of Laburnum Avenue, Abingdon, admitted driving a car without insurance or an MOT certificate in Abingdon during December.

She is due to fly to Iraq as a driver on June 22. She was given a 14-day ban and told to pay £85 in fine and costs.
