“The defendant said he’d found [the driving licence]. He had then registered his car in the name of Mr Guzek and obtained insurance in that name too,” said Mr Devaney.
The court was told Rygiel had been banned from driving for 15 months in 2012 and for four years in 2018, both for drink-driving.
On Thursday, he pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified on December 16, 2020, making a false statement between May 1, 2017 and December 17, 2020 to obtain insurance, obstructing a police officer and having no insurance.
Charlotte Winchester, mitigating, said Rygiel had been working as warehouse co-ordinator in Elm at the time of the offences and was using the car to commute.

A lorry driver was left needing permanent 24-hour care after he was crushed by 800kg of pet bedding which fell off a forklift truck.
The man had delivered the palleted load of pet bedding to Dickies Pet Centre Ltd in Oldmedow Road, King s Lynn, on June 25, 2018.
The stock was being unloaded by the firm s managing director Richard Ellwood, who was using a forklift truck to get the load off the lorry.
Its lifting forks were too close together so they could not properly support the load, and when being manoeuvred the 800kg load fell from the pallet and onto the lorry driver.
