Mohammed Faheem Suleman, 24, of Regent Drive, Fulwood, admits fraud by false representation, following an accident on December 9, 2015, between his Vauxhall Astra and a Peugeot.

He said vehicle damage and personal injury was caused.

But a probe found vehicles had not been damaged to the extent he claimed and that there were no injuries.

He got unpaid work for 200 hours, a rehabilitation requirement, and a six month ban.

He must pay £6,000 compensation, an £85 surcharge and £85 costs.
