UK's most convicted driver jailed

Britain's most convicted motorist has been jailed for driving while banned for the 48th time.

Jamie Manderson, 33, from Swindon, has been disqualified from driving each year since 1988,when he was 15.

The club bouncer's solicitor, Rob Ross, said that, in addition to being hooked on drugs, Manderson had a "serious addiction to cars".

Manderson was jailed for five months by Swindon magistrates on Wednesday after admitting driving while disqualified.

Outside court his lawyer Mr Ross said: "Jamie is a likeable idiot, really. Jamie suffers from a very serious addiction to cars. He just can't leave them alone."
