Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty has been fined £300 and disqualified from driving for two months.

The 27-year-old admitted two charges of driving without insurance or a licence at Thames Magistrates Court in London.

District Judge Jane McIvor warned the singer that he faces jail if he drives without a licence again.

The rock star was arrested in November 2006 by officers who spotted him driving his Jaguar erratically near his east London home.

He was fined £200 for driving without insurance, £100 for driving without a driving licence, plus £55 costs.

Mr Doherty's defence counsel said the singer was eligible for a licence, but had not applied for one after passing his driving test.

These courts are not really given out a good message to his so called fans . £300 is nothing to him as he could earn that in an hour, and he can afford for someone to drive him around. In my eyes he's getting away with blue murder.

Seems like a waste of space all around. I'm sure someone will end up rushing to his defence, though.
