Manchester City star Carlos Tevez admits driving offences

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez admitted in court to driving while disqualified and without insurance.

The 29-year-old entered his guilty plea in his native Spanish with the aid of an interpreter as he stood in the dock at Macclesfield Magistrates’ Court.

JPs heard that the Argentinian, who gave his full name as Carlos Alberto Tevez, has not yet got a UK driving licence, partly because he has struggled to pass the theory test, which is conducted in English.

Tevez pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified and without insurance after being stopped as he left a golf club in a Porsche Cayenne on the afternoon of March 7 this year following an anonymous tip-off to police.

He received a six-month driving ban at Manchester Magistrates’ Court in January after pleading guilty to two counts of failing to furnish information relating to incidents in which his Hummer vehicle was clocked speeding.
