A 28-year-old man who's only ever held a Learner's Permit - which had expired - was fined $220 for driving on the road.
Rohan Kirk of Hideaway Lane, Gulgong, was convicted in his absence after he failed to appear in court to face the matter.
At about 3pm on Thursday, June 20, 2019, police were driving along the street of Kirk's residence when they saw him driving in the opposite direction.
They questioned him about his licence and he said he had a Learner's Permit. Then when asked why he didn't have a licensed passenger accompanying him, Kirk told them he didn't need to because "it's not a road" - which it is.
A check showed that his permit had expired in 2010.

A Wellington man caught in possession of cannabis when he was stopped for a random breath test in Gulgong, was fined $220.
Colin John Peacock of Grevillea Place, Wellington, entered a written plea of guilty to the charge of 'Possess prohibited drug'.
The 53-year-old was stopped by police in Mayne Street at about 3.30pm on Tuesday, April 9, 2019, who decided to search his vehicle after a check of his identity.
Inside a bag, located between the driver and passenger seats, they found nine aluminium foil balls containing cannabis leaf with a total weight of 5g.
Peacock admitted to buying them for $10 each and that he'd forgot that he'd left them in the vehicle, because he was saving them for the next time he went fishing or prospecting.
