Few people would ever tell you they think it's a good idea to let Pete Doherty get behind the wheel but now, according to media reports, the British authorities have taken away that option altogether. On Thursday, Doherty was officially banned from driving a vehicle for one year. Adding insult to injury -- or, rather, penalty to justice -- he's been slapped with a fine that's roughly equivalent to $750.The thing is, Doherty is already serving an 18-month driving ban that he was handed last December for driving under the influence. The BBC reports that the two bans will run concurrently and Doherty will be allowed to reapply for a license after the longer of the two bans has expired.
The violation this time? Doherty plead guilty to allowing his manager, Andrew Boyd, use his car without having proper insurance. In related news, Boyd is currently serving a year-long jail term for a hit-and-run that happened while driving Doherty's car.
Oh and by the way -- happy birthday, Pete. The Babyshambles frontman turns 31 on Friday.
